Margaret Cho received her first big break in the comedy field when she entered and subsequently won a contest where the grand prize was opening up for comedian Jerry Seinfeld. After diving in to the comedy scene when she was just 16 and had comedy running through her veins – her father was a writer of joke books – the win was a great accomplishment. Cho soon hit the college circuits and became an instant hit among the college demographic. With a couple big late night appearances, Cho was catapulted into the mainstream world of comedy, but retained her edgy, witty style that distinguished her from other observational comedians.


In 1999, Cho wrote and starred in a one woman show called I'm the One That I Want which eventually turned in to a US tour, concert film and book. She followed up with a tour called Notorious C.H.O. in 2001 and then Revolution in 2003. Revolution grossed more than $4 million and the CD version of Revolution was nominated for a Grammy award. In 2004 the tour was turned in to a concert film and released on DVD. Riding high from the success of Revolution, Cho launched the State of Emergency tour during the 2004 Presidential election which emerged as a new tour Assassin.


In 2006 following an adventure into bellydancing, Cho launched The Sensuous Woman – a mix of burlesque, comedy and bellydancing in a variety show format. Last year Cho received the first ever Best Comedy Performance award at the 2007 Asian Excellence Awards, the First Amendment Award from the ACLU of Southern California and the Intrepid Award from the National Organization for Women.


Presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. Doors for Margaret Cho will open at 7:00 p.m. and show time is 8:00 p.m. The Pearl is home to the Miller Lite concert series, for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.
