Named one of Entertainment Weekly's Great Performances of the Year in 1999, the critically acclaimed I'm the One That I Want is comedian Margaret Cho's raunchy and hysterically funny stand-up concert. Filmed live at the Warfield in Margaret's hometown of San Francisco, I'm the One That I Want is Margaret Cho at her very best - funny, shocking and irreverent. As one of the country's visible Asian Americans, she has a unique perspective on identity and acceptance. As one of the country's funniest and most quoted personalities, she takes no prisoners. I'm the One That I Want is filled with dead-on insights about the experiences of being a woman in the spotlight from someone who has seen the highs and lows of life.
Billed as "Wayne's World for Adults", Colin's Sleazy Friends has become America's most notorious cult cable-television viewing since struggling comedian Colin Malone started it back in 1992. Subtle it ain't. The premise is simple: to invite sex industry insiders, porn stars--on the whole, it must be said, of the female and spectacularly breasted variety--and the occasional outsider to provide a very thin veneer of intellectual analysis into the studio to chat, demonstrate their art or strut their foul-mouthed stuff for the overweight, uncouth and hairy Colin. According to Malone, it's first and foremost a comedy show. And occasionally it is very funny indeed. Eye-popping moments include Veronica Brazil's frank account of masturbatory over-indulgence, a demonstration of a sling on a bungee rope and a shaving session that leaves nothing to the imagination. Once you've heard one raucous discussion about the merits of double penetration, though, you've probably heard them all. And unless your appetite for silicon-enhanced girl-on-girl nipple nuzzling and amateur gynaecology is insatiable, a little of Colin's Sleazy Friends goes a long way. On the other hand, it presents a lack of inhibition which will be a whole new world for the average terrestrial viewer and certainly generates a voyeuristic appeal all its own. And as an ironic take on the porn trade, stripped of any aura of eroticism, it works very well. Whether Malone had that in mind is another question. On the DVD: The Very Best of Colin's Sleazy Friends on DVD is, depending on your point of view, either of simply dismal sound and picture quality or an authentic evocation of home video transmitted over cable. Plenty of extras include outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage, all of which shed more light on the bizarre studio world in which acres of naked female flesh are paraded, poked, prodded and jiggled by Malone, his sidekick Dino and their totally uninhibited guests.--Piers Ford
Filmed live in Seattle, Notorious C.H.O is Margaret Cho’s hilarious follow-up to her hit comedy sensation I’m the One That I Want. This hugely successful one-woman show toured 37 cities in North America and closed with a sold-out performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall. A brilliant, taboo-busting comedian in the spirit of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, Margaret Cho is known as much for her raunchy humour as she is for her enormous contribution as a social equaliser.“Outrageous! A one-woman comic army...with seemingly limitless wit at her command.” – Los Angeles Times
Margaret Cho returns to the concert stage with a killer one-woman show that has taken audiences by storm. Filmed live at the Warner Theatre in Washington D.C., Asassin features a fresh dose of Margaret's ground-breaking and controversial brand of humour. Taking aim at the Bush administration and the religious right, she pulls no punches in her assault on the ever devolving state of the union. The result is an unforgettable performance featruing Margaret at her raw, irreverent and hilarious best.
Filmed live at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in 2003, Revolution is comedian Margaret Cho's triumphant return to the screen with the same unbridled, no-holds-barred humour that infused her previous two concert films. In Revolution, Margaret tackles the Axis of Evil, her travels through Thailand's red light district, the explosion of child birth, bartering sex for household chores, revolutionizing one's self-esteem, the joy of bodily functions, her loser ex-boyfriend, and of course, her now world-famous mother. Known as much for her social activism as she is for her raunchy humour, Margaret is one-of-a-kind phenomenon who once again begins her distinctive and empowering personal voice to her devoted and adoring fans.
