- Feb 2, 2018
Five time Grammy & Emmy nominated comedian Margaret Cho has announced brand new spring dates to her wildly popular "Fresh Off The Bloat" tour which launched last fall. Margaret was named one of Rolling Stone magazine's 50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time and has received rave reviews for the initial shows with the Chicago Tribune saying "Be it on-screen ("30 Rock," "Drop Dead Diva") or on stage, Margaret Cho has been one of the most exciting, unpredictable stand-up comics working for some time, and that hasn't changed in 2017. If anything, the Asian-American female comedian's voice has become more valuable than ever, given today's social climate, and Cho's material remains just as compelling, thanks in part to-and sometimes in spite of-her unapologetic delivery."
