2024.5.1. Margaret Cho at Town Hall

5/1, 6:30-7:30pm. Not sure why UW Public Lecture series features a commedian, but I'm glad that they did. This event is hosted at Town Hall Seattle, which is convenient for me (20 min walk). The event was sold out, when I registered for the whole series. But later, it became available. The reminder email warned us that 15 minutes before curtain, the tickets would be released to those who hadn't signed up. I heeded to the warning and arrived early. The auditorium is quite full, but you can still squeeze a few dozens in.

Cho is funny. She wore black top and bottom, comfy fit. Seems lost some weight compared to her photos I can find online. She touched on these few topics:
o her beginning of career was bandished by the Korean community elders.
o comedians she likes.
o welcome menopause.
o non-binary gender.
o her immigrant parents owning a gay bookstore in the 60s and 70s.



Another interesting things is how Q&A is gathered. You can ask question by emailing lectures@uw.edu. So, more anonymously.
