Margaret Cho

Beginning with her early days as an up-and-coming stand-up comedian in San Francisco, Margaret Cho’s freethinking spirit was evident. Never one to shy away from any topic, there is literally nothing off limits and her socially aware, no-holds-barred type of comedy has made her both a thought leader and a tolerant teacher for those with open minds and open hearts. An accomplished performer, Margaret has conquered the worlds of film, television, books, music and theatre. Having been nominated for five Grammy Awards and one Emmy, her comedy tours are a constant sell-out. As important to her as her work in entertainment are the causes she is passionate about. Margaret has been widely recognized for her activism and work in the non-profit sector, lending her name, time, and tireless work ethic to several charities, especially anti-racism, anti-bullying, and LGBTQ+ rights campaigns.
