Editors note: The Oct. 10 Margaret Cho show was canceled.
Margaret Cho said she’s building up to a Harley. The comedian has a vintage Honda motorcycle, but has ridden some hogs. She’ll be in the middle of Harley country Wednesday when she performs at York’s Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center.
“I think it’s a wonderful sport,” she said about biking during a phone interview last month. “I have a license. I’ve taken a lot of courses. (I’m) trying to make something that’s pretty risky as manageable as I can.”
A self-proclaimed tomboy, Cho has tattoos and sometimes sports leather. But before the Primetime Emmy awards Sept. 23, she was psyched to wear a dress.
“I’m having a gown made by Ina Soltani,” Cho said. “They’ve drawn out a beautiful gown and designed the hair and makeup. It’s pretty elaborate.”
No stranger to controversy, Cho was nominated for her guest role portraying the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il on “30 Rock.” She attended the 1994 ceremony and also earned a few Grammy nominations, but said it was nice to be recognized. Kathy Bates ended up taking home the statue for her guest role on “Two and a Half Men.” Read the rest of the interview.
