Abrasive and caustic Margaret Cho is a relentlessly fearless comic who happily mines the taboo for uncomfortable and hilarious laughs, she’s also quite fond of laying into her mother with almost sadistic glee. In new show ‘Fresh off the Boat’ Cho promises to tackle typical cheery subjects such as drugs, drink and suicide. You may wince, you may even cringe but we guarantee you will laugh.
