I'm just back from an evening at La Java, a former dancing hall that is now a bar and shelters a stage where comedians can perform. Last night, I saw... Margaret Cho, an American comedian that I never thought I would see in Paris. Why? Because she only performs in English and mainly deals with american issues. No wonder 99% of the audience was American! I, as a French, had a good laugh though, for she really pushes it very far and is really politically incorrect! Check it for yourself, but watch out, some bits could be rated PG99!
I've never heard of her! Will check it out.

Was she unannounced? I didn't see her on the program. You are special, of course, but is/was this show still available to the rest of us?

ReplyDeleteThanks for this Eric, and the last minute invite by fans at Facebook!
ReplyDeletecompliment for this crazy side. Actually I knocked through chance on that and thought myself to leave behind a nice entry and many greetings.

Great comedian! I didn't know but I've seen the youtube movie and I like her.
ReplyDeleteYeah...probably not something or someone I would have enjoyed. I believe that profanity and vulgarity are not wit, and I would much rather listen to someone who is witty.
ReplyDeleteDo they still have cars with wind down windows in the USA?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, if this ever happened to me, the last thing I would do is phone around and tell everyone.
Speaking of incontinence, did you know that there is a German rival to the iPad called the WePad?
I liked her when she first came on the scene -- she was very fresh and original. I haven't cared for her work since then.
ReplyDeleteAnd, OMG what is she wearing?
I'm with you, Lois -- thought she was great early on bc she blended heartfelt and touching message with in-your-face comedy. But I think the mix is out of balance because she's run out of ways to package the same old message, so now its just grating. One of the risks of any show biz thing, I guess. Maybe if you're just seeing her for the first time, tho, its fresh. Glad you enjoyed, Eric! She's a character!
ReplyDeleteLike Lois, I also remember her as being fresh and original when she was first performing. Since I haven't seen her in a long while (and I'm at work, so have to wait to play the clip), I'll reserve judgment. But I'm
ReplyDeleteglad you had such a good time, Eric!
from the little bit of the clip I could stand watching, that must have been a long, boring evening, Eric!

Oh, that's great!!!! I saw her once in San Francisco, in the Castro theater, when she introduced her movie. The movie was "OK" and I mean just OK, but I like her a lot. She's funny, and talented. She used to be on a TV show ages ago, and she was pretty funny then already.
ReplyDeleteBTW, best looking SPAM comment I've ever seen!! ;)
