Really Enough
Written and Performed by Margaret Zhao
Pleasanton, CA, USA
Really Enough is an award-winning memoir of mine, a true story of Tyranny, Courage and Comedy. It’s about my life growing up in China to survive the oppression and endure poverty with the power of humor. And also my life as an immigrant in the US surviving the culture shock with the power of humor. A combination of narration and standup comedy to inspire the audience.
