Her newest comedy performance, MOTHER, is described as “a complicated and completely original take on sex, queer politics, drugs, guns, identity and madness, proving time and time again, boundaries uncrossed are meaningless.”  

As the daughter of Korean American parents, Cho has often included her long-suffering mom, Young-Hie Cho, as a character in many of her shows. Her mom is also the staple of her new  MOTHER show which she’s been touring all over the U.S.

Drop Dead Diva, recently renewed for now its 6th season is currently airing on Lifetime network every Sunday. Cho’s new YouTube series, a dark comedy about three women fresh out of jail is called In Transition, on Cho’s YouTube channel.
