Margaret Cho
Friday, February 8, 7:30 PM
Controversial and hysterical, Grammy Award and Emmy Award nominated Margaret Cho brings her new stand-up show, the uproariously and aptly named MOTHER, which kicked off in September 2012, to Maui! According to Margaret, “MOTHER offers up an untraditional look at motherhood and how we look at maternal figures and strong women in queer culture. It’s probably my edgiest show to date, filled with riotous observations on race, drugs, sexuality – gay, straight, everything in between - celebrity, culture, politics – nothing is sacred – least of all this MOTHER.”

Jo Koy Comedy
Sunday, February 10, 7:30 PM
Born in Tacoma, Washington to an American father and Filipina mother, Jo Koy credits his mother for his comedic and acting talents. Her encouragement led to a Las Vegas coffee house, then a move to Los Angeles and finally a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2005. Jo became one of the select few to ever receive a standing ovation on the show. From filling clubs across the nation to being seen weekly as a regular guest on the TV show Chelsea Lately, Jo Koy has come a long way ... He has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, BET’s Comic View, Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza, and his Comedy Central TV special Don’t Make Him Angry, which aired in 2009, is now available on DVD. Jo's infectiously explosive energy on stage, insightful jokes and family inspired humor cross all boundaries and led Daily Variety to name him one of the “10 Comics to Watch.” A BAMP Project production

His role on TV’s I Spy made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series, breaking television’s racial barrier and winning three Emmy Awards. In the 1980s, he again rocked the TV world with The Cosby Show, a hugely successful series that single-handedly revived the family sitcom. Since then, Cosby has been writing, teaching and touring.
