A bisexual, American Korean, Margaret Cho has some claim on the title of Patron Saint of Outsiders. Never less than searingly honest, she speaks to people of all persuasions, especially those that enjoy expertly constructed dick and STD jokes. Her routines blend scatological humour and social commentary in such a deft, big-hearted delivery that even her filthiest material feels like a warm hug.

The Monster-In-law actress and comedian is acknowledged as one of the funniest stand-up comics by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People in America. Known for her lively, machine-gun fire wit that has seen her play the straight-talking sidekick in various film and tv projects, Sykes' repertoire focuses on wide-ranging subjects including gay marriage, racism and even federal government overspending. You name it, she'll most likely have an opinion - and a cuss - for it.
