From her first moment onstage as a teenager with her high school improv group, Margaret Cho knew that performing was her destiny. At age 16, she began doing stand-up at the comedy club above her parents bookstore in San Francisco. In 1994, Cho landed a sitcom, All-American Girl, about a rebellious daughter in a conservative Korean-American household. Since then she has launched several popular comedy tours, written books, and built a huge fanbase. This fully updated and insightful biography, Margaret Cho, Updated Edition recounts how this brash, trail-blazing talent became, in the words of the Washington Post, the patron saint of anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.
