How Margaret Cho Changed the Game (All American Girl, Fire Island, All That We Love)

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Beyond the Glam, Rasha Goel sits down with the legendary Margaret Cho—a comedian, actor, musician, and activist who has been breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes in entertainment for over 40 years. Margaret shares her journey from her early days as a teenage stand-up comic to becoming a cultural icon, using humor as a tool for resilience and change.

    From navigating an industry with few Asian-American or queer voices to opening up about mental health and personal struggles, Margaret doesn’t hold back. Together, she and Rasha, dive into the illusions of fame, the power of comedy as a coping mechanism, being Asian, and her commitment to encouraging others to “trust your instinct and dream big.”

    With her trademark wit and candor, Margaret offers a fresh perspective on the life lessons she’s gathered on stage and beyond.
