Today’s guest is stand-up comedian, actress, musician, activist, and author, Margaret Cho. You’ll recognize her from the sitcom she created and starred in, All-American Girl, as well as various roles in media, being featured in ventures like, Face/Off, Drop Dead Diva, 30 Rock, and many, many more. Margaret is best known for her stand-up comedy routines, where she transforms the stage into a platform of comedic discourse, traversing across topics such as social issues, politics, race, sexuality, and more. On this episode we break down how every comedian has one essential truth that serves as a foundation to build on, the school of thought of improv, how the unexpected can be the most rewarding, and how our attention span serves as an important factor in both creating and consuming comedy.
