Margaret Cho - I'm the One That I Want

November, 1999, Margaret Cho is home in San Francisco at the Warfield Theater. Cho structures her monologue loosely on her professional life's trajectory: doing stand-up, cast in an ABC-TV sitcom, losing 30 pounds in two weeks for the part, the show's cancellation, a descent into booze, pills, and self-loathing, and a resurrection into her own voice, her own shape, and being the one she wants. Along the way we visit Karl Langerfeld in jail, a lesbian cruise ship, a TV Guide photo shoot, a hospital, bars, and her family's Polk Street bookshop. Takes on being a fag hag, speeding up felatio, casual daily racism, and her mother's phone messages highlight a scabrous, brilliant performance.

    wonderful moving

    Margaret Cho is the biggest fag hag and has won many awards in the gay community for the support and love she has shown and her committment to the rights of minorities.

    Here she shares her life from when she hit big time in an all chinese comedy sitcom called all American Girl. I did see it years ago and enjoyed it. She talks about her life and downfall and her struggle to find herself. her family and her experiences as a bi- sexual woman - you laugh so much and you cry.

    find yourself too and your self too
