Margaret Cho and her one-woman show in 2000 (I hear she has a new one out now). It deals with her getting her sitcom (the horrible "All American Girl") and the hell it put her through and how she survived after it was cancelled. The movie is uproarious (most of the jokes are aimed at gay men...but I think anyone should get them), but there are moments when she details how cruelly ABC treated her and how she felt. Those moments are heart-breaking to watch...but she doesn't dwell on them. She tells you them loudly and with a matter of fact manner that's utterly great. And she zips through them to get on to the next joke. So it's a comedy performance but also how an Asian American woman survived despite all odds against her. Her final comments are uplifting.
Also there are hysterical recreations of her mother (who seems to be living in a different universe). Her mother was there the night of that performance--I'd LOVE to know what she thought!
A must for gay men and lesbians (I saw it with both audiences--us guys loved it, the lesbians did too but not as much). Also open-minded people. Stay FAR away if strong language and sexual references offend you.
