SAN DIEGO — Margaret Cho has a lot to say these days about a lot of things. Racism, Roe v. Wade, gay rights, women’s rights — all topics she’s delved into in the past. But this time, it’s different.
“There’s so much to say about everything — everything we’re going through right now,” the comedian-actor-activist said by phone from her home in Los Angeles on Aug. 2, two days before hitting the stage in Jamestown, New York, for the latest leg of her “Fresh Off the Bloat” tour, which was sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The overturn of Roe v. Wade has been devastating,” she said. “Just incredibly shocking, but in a way, not really. You could see it coming. There’s a real sense that our liberties, our democracy are in danger. We are a free country, but things are changing. And I’m going to talk about that. I’m going to take advantage of the fact that we still have free speech.”
