Comedian, actor, and musician Margaret Cho will appear in her Live and Livid stand-up routine at Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center on Saturday, March 29 (7:30 p.m.; mature audiences; $40.40 to $67 at pacslo.org).
Cho, of Korean descent, was born in San Francisco and came to prominence when she starred in the ABC sitcom All-American Girl (1994-1995). Stand-up routines and dozens of films and TV appearances followed.
The five-time Grammy and Emmy nominee is perhaps best known for her advocacy.
“Margaret staunchly supports the causes that are important to her: anti-racism, anti-bullying, gay rights, all while fulfilling her successful creative side with a legendary stand-up career that has yielded 10-plus comedy tours, dozens of television guest spots, and named her one of the nine best female comedians of all time (Vogue),” Cal Poly Arts announced.
“Live and Livid is a show celebrating my 40 years as a stand-up comedian,” she said. “I will be radiating rage about homophobia, sexism, racism, and the fight to stay alive in a culture that is killing us daily. You will love seeing me Live and Livid!”
This show is intended for mature audiences. Δ
