If you’ve never heard of Margaret Cho, think the crude comedy of Joan Rivers, the politically-charged jibes of Bill Hicks, and the quick witted improvisation of Robin Williams. Think back to Cho’s first HBO comedy “Half-Hour.” The then-young comedian had material ranging from how she might get laid after two years of celibacy, to growing up with a loud, Korean mother. Her willingness to candidly talk about sexual escapades makes her the sort of funny, sex-positive feminist and LGBT activist younger comics continue to look up to.
