Comedian Margaret Cho on the role of standup in activism

Season 2023 Episode 86 | 8m 36s

Margaret Cho is a trailblazer in the world of standup comedy, and a bold and unapologetic voice on social and political matters. She’s now celebrating 40 years of making people laugh and drawing attention to the issues of the day. Geoff Bennett met up with her recently at the Warner Theater in Washington, D.C. for our ongoing arts and culture series, Canvas.
