Live stand up comedy performance from the American comedian and actress Margaret Cho. Born into a Korean family in San Francisco, Cho began touring as a stand up comedian at the age of 16. She has also appeared in a number of films, including 'Face/Off', the 1997 John Travolta and Nicholas Cage action thriller. This stand up comedy set, filmed live at the Long Beach Terrace Theatre, finds Cho reflecting on beauty.
