• Fall 2018 N. American Tour Confirmed; See Dates Below

• The Alarm to participate in the Love Hope Strength Foundation - Rock The Canyons, a unique fundraiser where supporters will trek with the band to a concert in the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas finale, Oct 14-21, 2018

• Third annual celebration of The Alarm "New York Gathering" confirmed for April 12 & 13, 2019


The Alarm, will ignite their 19-date North American tour promoting Equals (the critically lauded new album which has simultaneously put the band back on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic), by performing an acoustic set at Kulak’s Woodshed in Los Angeles on October 24th before appearing at the legendary Roxy Theater on Sunset Boulevard, the very next night on October 25th.  It’s been 31 years since The Alarm have performed at The Roxy, so this is sure to be a special night and exciting way to kick off the North American tour.


Prior to the tour, Mike Peters and The Alarm are also taking part in the Love Hope Strength Foundation fund-raising trek Rock The Canyons from Oct. 14-20, 2018 which will take the band, cancer survivors, supporters and musicians (including Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms and Billy Duffy of The Cult), into the depths of The Grand Canyon to perform a unique concert followed by a Golf Day and finale event at the ARCIS Desert Pines Golf Club in Las Vegas on Oct. 20. One of the best natural wonders of the world on one of the best charity events imaginable!



The Alarm recently performed atop the LIVE Nation building in New York attracting over 100,000 Facebook Live viewers while announcing dates for the tour and their third annual New York Gathering which will take place April 12-13, 2019 at both the Gramercy Theatre and Irving Plaza.

Both events will feature two very special and unique Alarm concert experiences.

On Friday April 12, at the Gramercy TheatreThe Alarm will perform in full, the exact same set list as presented during their historic 'Spirit Of '86 Concert' that was broadcast globally by MTV on April 12, 1986. This anniversary concert will also coincide with the re-release date for The Alarm's STRENGTH album which is being re-mastered and made available in record stores around the world also on April 12, 2019. The title song 'Strength' gave it's name to the Love Hope Strength charity co-founded by three time cancer survivor, Mike Peters in 2007 that has since registered over 150,000 people to the International Bone Marrow Registry and potentially saved over 3,500 lives in the process.

On Saturday April 13The Alarm will perform a second full electric set at the prestigious Irving Plaza in New York, where fans can expect to hear all the very best Alarm music that has resonated with North American audiences since the release of The Stand back in 1983 and endured to the present day, through the release of new album Equals.

Bitch, I'm Margaret Cho

Get It! On Showtime!

SHOWTIME® PRESENTS MARGARET CHO: psyCHO
Stand-Up Comedy Event from Emmy® And Grammy® Nominated Comedian Margaret Cho to Premiere
Friday, September 25th At 9 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME

Come September 25th it will be ChoTime on Showtime - how's that for a titty twister?!

SHOWTIME will debut MARGARET CHO: psyCHO, the latest show from renowned three-time Grammy and Emmy nominated comedian Margaret Cho on September 25th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Filmed in March at the Gramercy Theater in New York City, Cho returns to the stage in front of a live audience in this provocative and hilarious performance.

Never one to shy away from a difficult or taboo topic, Cho considers nothing off limits. The witty comedian keeps her audience laughing with her notorious observational humor and candid commentary on her personal life. From singlehood to Boko Haram to female empowerment, Cho tackles difficult subjects with sensitivity and razor sharp insight. Part of the show includes touching tributes to her “father in comedy,” Robin Williams and her “mother in comedy,” Joan Rivers. A pioneer in the comedy world, Cho doesn’t take anything for granted in this eclectic stand-up routine.   

“The audience at my shows don’t necessarily consider themselves traditional comedy fans,” says Cho. “I seem to be a secure alternative for people who don’t think they’re being represented in society. They come because my point of view satisfies a lot of what needs to be said out there, and that makes me really proud.”

From Clownery Productions Inc. and Levity Productions, MARGARET CHO: psyCHO is executive produced by Margaret Cho, Judi Brown-Marmel, Norman Aladjem, Neil Sheridan, Reg Tigerman, Sarah J. Martin, Stacy Mark and Heidy Vaquerano.

MARGARET CHO SET TO FILM HER NEW STAND UP COMEDY SPECIAL IN NEW YORK CITY – MARCH 7
PRE-SALE TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12
CHO READIES 2015 TOUR DATES
MARGARET CONTINUES HER BUSKING EFFORTS FOR THE HOMELESS IN HONOR OF THE LATE ROBIN WILLIAMS

Margaret Cho has always been a rule breaker who has marched to the beat of her own "Little Drummer Boy" - This year and 2015 are no exceptions....It's Cho Time!

Three time Grammy and Emmy nominee, comedian Margaret Cho has announced she will make her return to New York City in March to film her brand new Stand Up Comedy Special at The Gramercy Theater. These shows in the Big Apple will be her first in over 2 years.

Margaret has been criss-crossing the country with brand new material over the last several months and said: I'm so thrilled to announce that I will be filming my new special at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC on March 7th (additional show on March 6 will not be filmed) and I want you to come! This is my most exciting show to date and I can't wait to share it with you. This show is all about the insanity in the world – it’s called “there’s no “I” in Team, but there is a “Cho” in Psycho.”   I've been saving NYC just for this, so please join me for this party. It's going to be legendary!

Pre-sale starts on Friday, December 12th at 10:00 A.M. EST until Saturday, December 13 at 10:00 P.M. EST and the password is Moran.    The general public on-sale will begin Monday, December 15 at 12:00 noon EST.
Direct links to order tickets are here:

VIP tickets will also be available and include a Meet & Greet and picture with Margaret after the show.  Show info is posted on http://www.margaretcho.com/

Margaret has toured all over the world and Bust magazine attended her show in Paris saying: Ms. Cho put on a hysterically funny 90-minute set.  It was the most explicit and painfully honest performance I’ve ever seen from her giving it 100%.” 

Recently, Margaret has been living in her hometown of San Francisco and giving back to the homeless community in honor of the late Robin Williams.  Margaret was so inspired by Robin’s activism that she has decided to get out on the streets herself in his honor for the work he did throughout his life with Comic Relief.   “I found that I could not stop grieving Robin Williams and I spoke to my friend Michael Pritchard, who is a mutual friend of mine and Robin's and he said, "Don't grieve Robin, be Robin". So this is what I thought I should do. I should go and make a little Comic Relief, a little baby one. And I encourage anyone to do this in their town.”


Dubbed the #BeRobin campaign, you can follow Margaret on Twitter for event announcements @margaretcho.  Margaret will continue her busking for the homeless 2 days a week in San Francisco until the end of the year.
