Margaret Cho to Release Musical Comedy Album

If you can’t make it to see Margaret Cho in the comedy tent at this year’s Bonnaroo, never fear: the comedienne has a musical comedy album on the way.

Although it has been in the works since last year, Cho Dependent now has a release date and supporting tour announced. The album drops on Aug. 24, the first date of the official Cho Dependent tour that will feature new stand up in addition to some musical pieces.

The album is all about sex, drugs and rock ’n roll, with gems among the songs like “Asian Adjacent” and “Gimme Your Seed.” Cho enlisted several musical guests to collaborate both with writing and performing the songs, including Tegan & Sara, Fiona Apple, Ani DiFranco and Andrew Bird.

Check out the (somewhat explicit) track list below:

1. Intervention (w/ Tegan & Sara)
2. Calling in Stoned (w/ Ben Lee & Tommy Chong)
3. Your Dick (w/ A.C. Newman and Ben Lee)
4. Baby I’m With The Band (w/ Brendan Benson)
5. Hey Big Dog (w/ Patty Griffin, Ben Lee, and Fiona Apple)
