Margaret Cho: I'm the One That I Want Reviews

There are just some things about American comedy that I just don't get. Why do you have to laugh and clap at every single word the comedian says? Half of this show is probably just clapping and laughing, and it detracts so much from the actual comedy. (That and the fact that I just don't get half of the American cultural references, though I'm sure an American would say the same thing about a lot of British comedy.)

It's not a bad stand-up show, but some of it I've seen/heard from other shows so it was pretty predictable at times. One thing I don't like about Cho's performance is that she repeats phrases a lot, which can get pretty annoying. She is able to talk about the most obscene of topics without shame, which is quite a good quality, but at times I found some of it a little odd.. Her impressions of her mother are quite funny, but they do tend to drag on a bit.

In short: A pretty decent show, but I prefer British stand-up.
