Is Margaret Cho 'the gay comedienne'? I don't mean that she herself is gay (although I think she said she's bi-sexual or something), but gay men love her. She is the stand up comedy equivalent of Cher.

And yet, I can't stand her. I find her wholly unfunny and annoying.

So, anyway, This weekend kicks off 'A week of Pride' in Boston, and I said to Matt "What do you want to bet Margaret Cho shows up."

I said it as a joke. But then, I opened up the paper, and there she was "Margaret Cho doing 4 shows this week only to kick off pride week".

What is that about. I understand that the woman has a large gay fan base (don't know why) but is that the only audience she markets to?

Can an artist make it big marketing only to one audience while ignoring the other? Look what happened to Ellen DeGeneris. Her show was funny. She came out. Her show became gay. Her show was cancelled.
Years later she gets a talk show. She barely mentions the 'hi im ellen and I am gay and this is my talk show', but instead, just markets herself to everyone, and the show is a big hit and an award winner.

So, who likes margaret cho? Why? And do you think she is a 'niche act'?

I just don't get her, and i am afraid I never will find her funny.

I believe that she is "Openly Bi"... whatever that means. And I don't think she's very funny either,

I hate her. I wish someone would cut her eyelids off and pee on her face.

At first her may routie in her act was "I'm asian, hahahaha", "we talk funny hahahaha", "we own nail saloons, hahahaha". SO now I gues her new act will be, "I'm bi, hahahahaha."

Actually, I think in her act she says (in her words) she wondered if she was bi or gay after being with a woman, but then realized that she was just generally slutty.

The funny thing is, my gay friends are all horrified that i don't find her funny. (A gay man not liking Margaret Cho is the equivalent of a straight man not finding Farrah Fawcett [from back in her Charlies Angels days] attractive)

'What? You don't like Margaret Cho? But she is so funny!'

'no she isn't'

'yes she is like when she said 'blah blah blah'

'i didn't find that funny at all.'

'what about when she imitates her mother.'

'that is the most annoying part of her act.'

'Get away from me. I don't know you anymore.'

That is generally the exchange I get.

I feel the same way...

I saw one of her specials not to long ago, and it was funny, except she would usually go on a long, angry, unfunny rant before she got to the joke, which was usually funny.

I was unaware that she'd become some kind of gay icon.

Farrah Fawcett, on the other hand, is really easy on the ol' eyes.

Margaret Cho used to work at the F.A.O. Schwarz in San Francisco and nobody liked her. She was a total bitch and prima donna. And now I'm tired of her being claiming that ABC dropped All American Girl because they couldn't handle a show about Asian Americans. No, they dropped it because it wasn't funny and wasn't doing too well in the ratings.
