Margaret Cho
is one of the funniest comedians alive. Saw her stand-up live in South Hampton. Tears were streaming down my face and my tummy was sore from laughing so hard. She is definitely one of my favorites. I couldn’t even speak when I saw her walking through the East Village some 10 years ago. She is HILARITY and she rocks. Anyhooo, thanks for indulging!
