Margaret Cho (born December 5, 1968) is a Korean-American comedian, fashion designer and actress. Cho is known for her stage performances, recordings, and concert movies. Her shows are a mixture of her comedy stylings with strong political and cultural commentary. Apart from these shows she has also directed and appeared in music videos, and started her own clothing line. She has frequently supported gay rights and identifies herself as bisexual, and has won awards for her humanitarian efforts.

In the past eight years she’s launched four sold-out national tours, turning each into a concert film. In 1999 her groundbreaking one-woman show, “I’m The One That I Want,” became a best selling book and a concert film.
