John Waters: The Naked Truth - A 79th Birthday Show

City Winery Philadelphia presents John Waters: The Naked Truth - A 79th Birthday Show live on Wednesday, April 23 at 7:30pm.

Stage Premier / Golden Circle - Group Therapy Session VIP is POST SHOW Q&A which includes a selfie from a distance.

John Waters is turning 79 and you’re invited to the party. 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.
