Filmed during her 2005 stand-up tour, the show finds Cho taking aim at politics, sex, religion, celebrity culture and the general weirdness of being alive in the modern world, all with her trademark combination of sharp observations and fearless honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"474\" data-end=\"1092\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWhat makes \u003cem data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"495\"\u003eAssassin\u003c\/em\u003e work so well is that Cho never sounds like she's delivering a carefully polished lecture. She feels like the funniest person at a dinner party that has gone completely off the rails. Her stories bounce between the personal and the political, often veering into territory that would make other comedians nervous, but she handles it with such confidence and wit that the audience happily follows along.
