Margaret Cho - Notorious C.H.O. [DVD]

I don't own this DVD but I did go last night and see this in the theatre and OH MY ...! I mean I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I am a huge fan of Margaret Cho from her stand up to her "I'm the one I want" now to this. My only problem with her in the past is that she has a tendancy to use material from her old shows but even that isn't a bad thing because she is so funny and there is no such thing as to much Margaret. I was very surprised, a lot of new material in this show and her parents are interviewed which only makes it funnier. I hope she comes out with a million more shows and I will own them all for when times get tough and things don't look to good in your own life, you can easily be brought to tears by laughter by the genius of comedy that is Margaret Cho. She is as real as they come and her directness is admired. I think one thing that makes her so funny is a lot of what she talks about is very relatable to everyone in their every day life. She talks about occurences that everyone has gone through at least once and she says things that maybe you thought but never said yourself. I applaud her and this paticular show is phenomenal. She can do no wrong in my eyes and if you buy this I can only promise that your face will hurt with laughter and for the duration of the show you'll forget all your problems and step into the world of Margaret which is a rollercoaster of belly hurting, can't breath, teary eyed, bellow of laughter. This will be one of the best purchases I'll have made all year.

I love Margaret Cho!! Great performance!! Almost as good as "I'm the One That I Want", but if you like Mommy, don't miss the Commentary track. The entire Commentary is done by Margaret's mother from her home.About a third of the way through the doorbell rings and her 60-ish neighbor comes to return the casserole and Mommy invites her to stay. The Commentary continues and the doorbell rings again. This time a police officer comes and joins the Commentary.Hey! This is the best Commentary feature I have heard!!

I bought this DVD because it was supposed to be cutting edge political and racial humor. I should have paid more attention to the reviews that said it was disappointing.To make the comparison to Richard Pryor is what offends me. Richard, like Robin Williams are comedy icons. Richard influenced a whole generation of comics from Eddie Murphy to Chris Rock.Cho is not even close. I didn't laugh at any of the jokes which are targeted away from the audience that who love Richard Pryor or the Kings of Comedy. This is the amateur hour. Not as good as Roseanne Barr or a host of other female comics.Trying to use the hip-hop references is another marketing ploy. No one in the Hood would find this material funny. I agree with those who have said this is contrived and forced. All hype , no substance.I should have read the customer reviews before I bought it.

Was as funny as I remembered. 2002! Seems like a lifetime ago. Margaret Cho is still hilarious.*5 stars*

I really enjoyed this show very much. I really loved how Margaret Cho captured all aspects of today's society in a comedic way. I would recommend anyone that enjoys comedy to get this DVD and watch it. I will promise you that this DVD will leave you in stitches for the entire time.

Love Margaret Cho, but this one seemed rushed and not put together as well as her previous show

I like "I'm the one that I want" the very best, but this is also hilarious. Margaret Cho is good at what she does.
