TO MARGARET CHO |
Margaret Cho by: Mike Diamond EDGE Contributor Wednesday Oct 8, 2008
Margaret Cho launched into her set at Radio City being as direct as her fans have come to expect. "I fucking hate Sarah Palin" the comic stated to cheers from the crowd, explaining why Palin is not, as she claims, a feminist. "If you’re a woman who wants to outlaw abortion, it doesn’t make you a feminist it makes you a dumb cunt." This being one of Cho’s legendarily raunchy performances of course, she continued, "I just wanna fuck some sense into her... I want to eat her pussy from behind, Eskimo style!" Cho’s one night only show at Radio City Music Hall was a love fest between the acerbic stand up comedienne and her decidedly left leaning followers. They ate up every Republican bashing word bomb she tossed, such as her desire to tell John McCain, "You’re so old you don’t make jizz, you make glue". In a red skirt and black hooker pumps, Cho stayed center stage throughout the show, dishing out material about pop culture, her VHI series ’The Cho Show’ and sex. Cho has what she called a Mac Sexuality: "Don’t touch my anus- that’s my force quit button". She discussed getting an anal bleaching for a segment on her VHI show, referring to the take home product as ’Crest Asshole Strips". Margaret, who identifies herself as "queer," has long been a fiery advocate for and friend to the gays. She is a proud fag hag, or as she pointed out a ’Bear Hag, aka Goldilocks’. She is obviously drenched in the gay lifestyle, saying she loves "Project Runway" because its just "fags & fag hags fighting". Explained Cho, "Whenever I see Michael Kors, my asshole just slams shut!.... He wears too much self tanner; he’s like a bitchy tangerine". Cho imitating a queen who does crystal meth: "Yeah I hear voices, but they tell me I look hot, so fuck it". During her uproarious and expertly timed set, the edgy and glamorous Cho riffed on a number of topics including gay marriage, Larry Craig, Heath Ledger. She joked that Californians voted for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger "cause they thought he came from the future". Talking about her travels, Cho shared that "India is ghetto. I saw a man in a three piece suit take a shit in the middle of the street. That shit is gangsta!" In addition to her "Beautiful" tour, Cho recently starred in "The Sensuous Woman," a live burlesque and comedy variety show, and was added to the cast of "Drop Dead Diva." a pilot for the Lifetime cable network. She is as daring as ever, speaking out about politics, sexuality and pop culture with an honesty and humor that is increasingly rare these days. For that, she truly is beautiful.
