DALLAS - Decked out in her best "Catherine Zeta-Jones" drag, comedienne Margaret Cho razzle-dazzled an enthusiastic crowd during the second of two shows at Dallas' Majestic Theater on Saturday night.

Cho took the stage in a glittery, red Chicago-inspired dress, high heels and a curly black wig. But it didn't take long for the heels and the wig to come off and for Cho to let her hair down and get right to her patented brand of no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners reality comedy.

No topic was taboo as Cho shared stories about everything from her grandmother's death to losing control of her bowels on the Los Angeles Freeway while experimenting with an all-persimmons diet.

Like her delightfully raunchy "Notorious C.H.O." tour, which spawned an album and a documentary, much of the material in her new act -- dubbed "Revolution" -- was far too raw for family-newspaper discussion. Suffice it to say, it was a perfect mix of Cho's contorted facial expressions, her broken English imitation of her mother and more than a few cheer-inducing bits aimed at her large gay following.

Cho wavered between serious and seriously funny as she ranted on the roles (or lack thereof) for Asians in Hollywood.

"I don't wanna play a manicurist, or a child violin prodigy or a woman carrying a chicken under her arm," she said.

Though definitely more political than in her previous shows, Cho nonetheless avoided discussing the war in Iraq, apart from a backhanded compliment for Natalie Maines, the outspoken lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, and Maines' criticism of the president.

"I mean, they are called the Dixie ... Chicks. Consider your audience for a second ..." she said.

Cho ended her set with a plea for all minorities, whether by race, sexuality or gender, to realize their common struggles and goals, and to join together.

"Power equals change. Change equals revolution."
