On Wednesday, actor, comedian and queer legend Margaret Cho announced her new stand-up comedy tour which launches this August. The Choligarchy Tour will head to North Texas this winter. Cho will perform Dec. 12 and 13 at Mic Drop Comedy in Plano.
“My new show Choligarchy is bringing me back to my roots as a political comedian. I’m so frustrated with the state of the union and I know the only weapon I have is humor,” she said in the tour announcement. “We are being taken over by the richest people in the world but the one thing they cannot afford is jokes at their expense. I want to fight fascism with everything I have. This will be my most blistering and brutally honest show yet! Let’s tear down racism, homophobia and sexism with all that we have. We have to fight for what we have now, because if we wait any longer, it might be too late to save ourselves.”
Tickets go on sale Monday, July 21 here.
