BAMP Project presents Comedian Margaret Cho – The psyCHO Tour live in Honolulu at The Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall Friday, November 6th, 2015. Tickets on sale NOW at the locations listed below. This is an all ages event with mature content.
An accomplished performer in all formats, Margaret Cho could be called the “Queen of all Media,” having conquered the worlds of film, television, books and theatre. She has three Grammy Award nominations for Best Comedy Album under her belt. Her tours sell-out, and she’s had two shows debut Off-Broadway (I'm The One That I Want and The Sensuous Woman). She has made an indelible mark in television, starting in 1994 with the network comedy All American Girl, followed by one of the first “reality sitcoms” to air on VH1, The Cho Show and most recently starring in the Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva for all six seasons. The film and DVD releases of her stand up have broken records – literally, with I'm The One That I Want holding the title for ‘most money grossed per print’ for an independent film. Her other releases, which Cho fans collect and swap with zeal, include Notorious C.H.O (2001), Assassin (2005), Revolution (2003), Beautiful (2009) and Cho Dependent (2011). Since 1999, Margaret has been responsible for the distribution and sale of all her content.
Cho also played North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on 30 Rock, which garnered her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Along with writing and recording a follow up to her Grammy nominated Cho Dependent music album, Margaret set out on tour with her show, Mother, which began in late summer, 2012 and included US, Australia & Europe dates.
