5.0 out of 5 stars Margaret Cho For President!!!, October 22, 2003

By

This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD)

This live cd documents Margaret's recent "Revolution" tour and is probably one of the absolute funniest and best comedy albums to be released in recent memory. Someone needs to get Margaret her one TV talk show (preferably on cable!) quickly!! She is so smart, and so funny, and so dead-on accurate in her views about pop culture and world politics.

Ms. Cho is just brilliant. She can be super serious one minute, and then in the next breath can have you crying tears of laughter. Not only is she one of the most important voices in comedy, she is just one of the most important ENTERTAINERS working today. She needs to be on every TV show! She needs to be in every movie! She needs to be everywhere!!!

Following in the footsteps of Margaret's previous shows, "I'm The One That I Want" and "Notorious C.H.O.", another live concert movie is being produced. This movie is going to have a bonus that the other two didn't have: a second movie that is a behind-the-scenes look at Margaret during her "Revolution" tour (it'll be Margaret's version of Madonna's "Truth Or Dare"). This cd will tide us all over until those movies hit theaters in 2004.

Really, the only comment that I have to make about this cd is that unless you have seen the "Revolution" show live, you might get a bit lost in some parts. A lot of Margaret's comedy involves her physically doing things- whether it's a facial expression, or some kind of movement. Obviously, you can't see that when you are listening to a cd. Since I've seen the show, it wasn't a problem for me because I remember what she's doing. Even if you haven't seen the show, you'll still find this cd to be 100% entertaining.

You just can't go wrong with Margaret!

5.0 out of 5 stars Margaret Cho continues to inspire..., December 22, 2003

I was walking through my local Circuit City store, looking for presents to buy friends and family for Christmas, when I came across the last copy of this CD. After noticing it very quickly, I moved on through the aisles, but when I turned to leave, I remembered the CD and had to go buy it. I'm not disappointed at all. Margaret Cho Revolution is a hilarious CD, one with the typical Margaret Cho humor, social commentary, and life story all mixed together. Although some parts may be lacking in that you can't see her movements, this CD is definitely a must have in any Margaret Cho collection. Play it in your car, while you jog, or while visiting your grandmother in the old folk's home, this CD will inspire you and calm you. I would definitely recommend this as a wonderful example of Cho's work, and something that truly stands out in the comedy world today.

1.0 out of 5 stars sadly not her best, November 3, 2003

This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD)

i loved notorious c.h.o. and im the one that i want (ive yet to listen to drunk with power), but revolution, in comparision with cho's former stand up routines, leaves much to be desired. i felt that the cd was rushed and that margaret jumped from topic to topic, suddenly switching gears. i didnt like that. i found it annoying. what i also didnt like was how she kept repeating the whole "p*ssy write letter" thing throughout the cd. it got tedious. also, this cd lacked margaret's hilarious imitations of her mom. all in all this cd fell short of my expectations. it gave me a few laughs but nothing close to the gut splitting action from her former cds.
