John Waters: Devil’s Advocate (LIVE AT THE WEST) October 25th
October 25, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Come at 7 pm and enjoy a pre-show set of live music! 18+
John Waters. Is he a cautionary contrarian, a reactionary radical, or a true Devil’s Advocate? In this all-new, fast-moving, part-confessional, part-inquisitional comic spoken word show, the filth elder known for his “transgressive” films and his “subversive” books salutes the new gender-guerilla generation of today for doing the impossible — actually making him nervous. Together, he demands, we must form a new rainbow of rancid colors and seize back the sexual revolution from the self-righteousness of the left and the intolerance of the right.
A new middle-of-the-road madness that uses humor as terrorism, wit as ammunition. A happy family of all-age, cuckoo crossover: hip-hop hippies, pansy punks, queer gangstas, down-low hos, and shit-kicking skeezers.
We’re here. We sneer. Don’t get used to us. John Waters – he’s the Devil’s Advocate and his questions must be answered.
Get set for a wild ride of the comically absurd.
There will be LIVE music to start the evening chock full of tricks and treats.
John Waters is a man of many monikers: The Prince of Puke, The Duke of Dirt, The Sultan of Sleaze. Any way you put it, John Waters is famed the world over for his trash epics including Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, Serial Mom, Cecil B. Demented and Hairspray.
Devil’s Advocate is the next chapter in Waters’ rapid-fire one-man spoken word Vaudevillean act, This Filthy World, celebrating the film career and joyously appalling taste of the man William Burroughs once called “The Pope of Trash.”
