Margaret Cho Biography

Short Biography

Cho was born into a Korean family in San Francisco, California. She grew up in a racially diverse neighborhood in the 1970s and 1980s, which she described as a community of, "old hippies, ex-druggies, burnouts from the `60s, drag queens, Chinese people and Koreans. To say it was a melting pot—that`s the least of it. It was a really confusing, enlightening, wonderful time."

Cho`s parents, Young-Hie and Seung-Hoon Cho, ran a bookstore on San Francisco`s Polk Street. Her father writes joke books as well as a newspaper column in Seoul, South Korea. After Cho expressed an interest in performance, she auditioned and was accepted into the San Francisco School of the Arts, a performing arts high school. While at the school, she became involved with the school`s improvisational comedy group with Sam Rockwell.
