South Beach Sessions - Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho is a comedy legend. She’s worn her heart on her sleeve since the start of her career, and now she’s bearing it on South Beach Sessions. Together, Dan and Margaret explore her past: her unusual upbringing, her record and boundary-breaking impact on comedy, and her personal struggles with deep depression and anxiety. Margaret tells Dan about her childhood in the Bay Area, including her early start in comedy and performance, which emerged from a deep feeling of loneliness and being unseen. She ties her queer identity to her growth and development as an artist, but also to her isolation. And, as Margaret embarks on a new tour, they discuss the state of comedy today… including what it means to wholeheartedly push back against an administration that was supported by mainstream comics.
