Reviews of "The Cho Show"
"Finally a reason to tune in."
"Cho is finally doing her own thing, her own uncharted way. And she's a pioneer and a role model — X-rated potty mouth and all."
The Star Telegram
"Good-natured reality entourage sitcom."
"Benefits to no end from the presence of Cho's parents."
The LA Times
"The most fun reality series about a star's family since season one of MTV's The Osbournes."
"Cho finally has her day, her say, and don't forget, "her gay." She makes the most of this opportunity, and so should we."
The News & Observer
"There's a new sheriff in town!"

Reviews of "Beautiful"
"Tonight’s “Beautiful” tour returned audiences to a more primal state, double-fisting drinks, hollering, and screaming alongside Cho as she performed her routine of confronting “hush-hush” issues with trademark acid wit."
Venus Zine
"Almost 40 now, Ms. Cho was less strident, less out to shock for the sake of it, and more outwardly happy than in the past....She was most at home when engaging the body, especially from the angle of identity politics...Ms. Cho seemed more comfortable in her skin than ever."
Dallas Morning News
"Some of the biggest laughs were unprintably raunchy (but none the less hysterical)."
Star-Telegram
"Cho laid her dirty comedy on thick at the Orpheum Saturday night, and the near-capacity crowd ate it up. Cho was larger than life on the video screen above her - all the better to see her masterful facial expressions. She can contort her eyes, her mouth, even her nose into the funniest positions, whether she's imitating her mother imitating Julia Child or reenacting her horrified self..."
The Boston Globe
"...her latest tour, Beautiful, which on April 4 saw Cho return to the more honest and personal material that marked her earlier years....Cho seems to have re-embraced the best of what made her big in the first place."
Eye Weekly
"The sex-capade, and a subsequent tangent on pop culture divas...went over well with the packed audience, who was hooting and hollering its collective approval. Her political jabs, peppered throughout the show, were among her best and the show one of her consistently funniest."
Bay Windows
"Of course, it wasn't her beauty or lessons of being beautiful that captured the audience's attention of a nearly sold-out theater. It was her comical anecdotes on political issues such as Iraq, sex scandals, prostitution and immigration that induced the entire laugh-filled evening."
The Rebel Yell
"In a way, Beautiful is a return to I'm the One That I Want, the hit 1999 tour that marked her comeback from the failure of her sitcom, All-American Girl.....She made me uncomfortable, but she also got my attention. That's why Margaret Cho is so necessary. The sharpest comedy shows you the boundaries of your own tolerance, and pushes them.
