Margaret Takes Her Cho On the Road

EDGE READ TIME: 3 MIN.

Fresh off the heels of her coverage of the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards special as part of E!'s comedy favorite "Fashion Police,"�three time Grammy and Emmy nominee, comedian Margaret Cho is taking her comedy show on the road.

"It's a wonderful thing to be known as a 'safe haven' for people who feel disenfranchised," said Cho. "The audience at my shows don't necessarily consider themselves traditional comedy fans. I seem to be a secure alternative for people who don't think they're being represented in society. They come because my point of view satisfies a lot of what needs to be said out there, and that makes me really proud."

Cho is also set to host the "New Now Next Honors" on the Logo Network February 1. From the slopes of Aspen Gay Ski Week, "New Now Next Honors" is a celebration of what's hot and, more importantly, what's going to be in the year to come.�

Speaking of the year to come, Margaret has signed a development deal with Amazon for her marijuana-themed family dramedy titled "Highland."�The hour long project follows Cho, who after court-ordered rehab gets a chance to start over, but has to move in with her dysfunctional family who now run a pot dispensary.�

Co-produced by Tomorrow Studios and Amazon Studios, "Highland" was created by Margaret Cho and writer Liz Sarnoff ("Deadwood," "Lost," "Alcatraz."). Cho is also attached to star and exec. produce, along with Becky Clements and Marty Adelstein of�Tomorrow Studios.

In addition, you can catch Cho on "Real Time with Bill Maher"�Friday, February 12.�Cho will also continue to tour with her ever evolving stand-up comedy show throughout 2016.�She will continue to tackle difficult subjects with sensitivity and razor sharp insight. A pioneer amongst women in comedy, she doesn't take anything for granted.
