Korean-American stand-up comedian Margaret Cho is one of the most recognizable faces in entertainment, having also made her name as an actress, musician, artist, fashion designer, author, and entrepreneur. She’s been a bold and outspoken advocate for both LGBT and Asian-American causes throughout her career. And yet despite all that, Margaret still has a fairly mundane daily life at home, which she often riffs on in her comedy.
