John Waters Devil\u2019s Advocate The Pope of Trash, The Duke of Dirt, and now the Devil’s Advocate. John Waters delivers an all-new, fast-moving, part-confessional, part-inquisitional comic spoken word show. Known for his “transgressive” films and his “subversive” books, Waters salutes the new gender-guerilla generation of today for doing the impossible – actually making him nervous.
With a decades-long career, John Waters has carved a distinctive niche in American cinema and literature as a filmmaker and author. Known for his provocative and satirical approach, Waters has written and directed sixteen films, including cult classics like Pink Flamingos and Hairspray. His work unapologetically tackles themes of race, sex, gender, consumerism, and religion, infused with his unique blend of wit and cynicism. An acclaimed author of ten books, including Shock Value and Liarmouth: A Feel Bad Romance. Waters has also ventured into photography, sculpture, and performance art, continually re-editing and queering popular culture with his signature directorial flair.
Warning: This is not your mother’s one-man show.
