Margaret Cho Announces 2025–2026 CHOLIGARCHY Comedy Tour

Five-time Grammy and Emmy nominee Margaret Cho has announced her newest stand-up comedy tour, CHOLIGARCHY, launching August 1, 2025, in Provincetown, MA, with dates confirmed into spring 2026.

Cho’s latest show marks a return to her roots as a political comic, taking aim at power, privilege, and the absurd state of American life. “My new show Choligarchy is bringing me back to my roots as a political comedian,” says Cho. “I'm so frustrated with the state of the union and I know the only weapon I have is humor.”

She continues: “This will be my most blistering and brutally honest show yet. Let's tear down racism, homophobia, and sexism with all that we have. We have to fight for what we have now—because if we wait any longer, it might be too late to save ourselves.”

The tour includes stops in New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, and more. Tickets go on sale July 21.
