Margaret Cho's Comedy Journey Across Identities
Margaret Cho, a trailblazing comedian, discusses the challenges she faced in finding her comedic voice amidst the dichotomy between identity-based and observational comedy. In the 80s, as an Asian comedian, she grappled with whether to focus on her Asian identity in her humor or adopt a more universal observational style.
