Margaret Cho Tackles Police Brutality and Racism on Comedy Tour

Comedian, actress, singer and San Francisco native Margaret Cho is tackling topics like police brutality and racism on her upcoming tour.

Cho's "psyCHO Tour" is scheduled to stop at San Francisco's Castro Theatre on October 15.

"This show is about insanity, and about the anger I feel about everything happening in the world right now, from police brutality to racism to the rising tide of violence against women," Cho said in a statement. "When men go off on something - they are 'passionate' and 'driven' and when women go off on something we are 'hysterical' and 'crazy.' I'm trying to bring some joy to the hysteria and insanity.”

Cho announced in March that she was making a documentary of her efforts to raise money and awareness for San Francisco's homeless population, a campaign called #BeRobin in reference to the kindness of the late Robin Williams. Cho busked on the streets of San Francisco daily for two months, setting out a sign that said, "If you have, give; if you need, take (please remember your fellow man)."

Pre-sale tickets for the psyCHO Tour are available for 24 hours beginning at 10 a.m. on May 13; the general sale starts at noon on May 15.

Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to have the opportunity to buy a ticket.

It’s amazing how comedians that are not funny still hang around. I guess as long as you spout PC gibberish all the time some one throws you a coin now and again...

Yes, she is. She was married to a man for over a decade (until 2014), but “identifies” as “gay” and “queer.” She is also Korean.

“(I)f you need, take” . . .
That can be an invitation to a thief or someone else criminally-minded, who cannot discern their wants from their needs.

The opportunity to buy includes the opportunity to not-buy.

Nothing racis’ about it ... I’d be happy to watch a Korean dancing in “Giselle,” or singing in a high school production of “Into the Woods,” or doing gymnastics.

Leftism trying to disguise itself as comedy is not funny. See her and Jon Stewart.

But how will the Muslim demographic view this explosion of female hostility? Isn’t Margaret Cho afraid of the reaction she will draw from militant Islamic Jihadists with this outburst?

“This show is about insanity”. Isn’t time for new material?

I regard Korean women as beautiful but in her case I’m willing to make an exception.
