In today’s fearless episode of The Coop, we welcome the one and only Margaret Cho—comedian, actor, musician, activist, and absolute legend. From crushing stand-up stages at 14 years old, to breaking racial barriers with All-American Girl, to selling out Carnegie Hall, and even playing Kim Jong-il on 30 Rock—Margaret has done it all, and then some.She’s Live and Livid on stage these days, and we get into exactly what’s fueling her fire—from women’s rights to political absurdity to finding joy in the madness. She opens up about sobriety, body image, love, loss, and why she’s choosing “situationships” over marriage. And yes, we dig into her famous 12 hours up, 12 hours down sleep practice, how she writes a joke every single day before getting out of bed, and why her mother has an actual prayer group dedicated to finding her a husband (bless her heart).Margaret doesn’t just push boundaries—she obliterates them. Whether she’s talking about being one of the few women in stand-up in the ‘90s, the sheer injustice of Hollywood’s double standards, or why love isn’t just for the young and beautiful (the theme behind her new song Lucky Gift), this conversation is as bold as it is soulful—with just the right amount of bite.And because The Coop always leaves you with something to chew on, we’ll close it out with a Margaret-ism to live by:“You reap what you sow. So I’m sowing joy.”Or just the life mantra we all need:“Do it. It doesn’t have to be good. Just do it.”So y’all, tune in and get ready for a conversation that is sharp-witted, unfiltered, and deeply, beautifully human.🔗 Tickets + Tour Dates: Tour Dates | Margaret Cho Official Site🔗 Listen to Lucky Gift: Music | Margaret Cho Official Site--This episode was produced by Kit Hoover and Harper McDonald.
