Margaret Cho

Outrageous comedian and gay fave, Margaret Cho, has already announced a two-week extension of her hit show, The Sensuous Woman, which opened on October 6th at off-Broadway's Zipper Theatre.  

Fresh off the heels of a successful Chicago run, Margaret Cho's new burlesque-style variety show was originally set for a four-week limited engagement through October 20th, but demand has resulted in the show being extended through November 3rd.  

Created by and starring comedian Margaret Cho, The Sensuous Woman is a raucous, outrageous and funny night of comedy, music and dance that celebrates the female body and features a supporting cast of renowned burlesque stars and established and emerging comedians.  

Featured performers in The Sensuous Woman include Los Angeles bellydance and burlesque sensation Princess Farhana, emerging transgendered comic Ian Harvie, the ingenious burlesque performer Selene Luna, comic actor Liam Sullivan as internet rock-star Kelly, internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Ryan Heffington, New York downtown favorite Miss Dirty Martini, and sketch comedians Diana Yanez and Kurt Hall of the Gay Mafia Comedy Troupe of West Hollywood.  

Cho's previous shows include I'm the One That I Want, Notorius C.H.O., both of which were made into feature films, as well as Revolution, State of Emergency, and Assassin. She is aso well known for starring in the ABC sitcom All-American Girl.  

The Sensuous Woman began previews on September 26th and is directed by Randall Raspine.
