“Waters, who claims to have an unironic love of Christmas…delivered his comments in a wonderfully dry and arch deadpan. His timing and tone were pitch-perfect.” —Variety
Like a wayward Santa for the Christmas-obsessed, legendary filmmaker and raconteur John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Female Trouble) rides into town this December spreading yuletide cheer with his critically acclaimed one-man show. Waters’ rapid-fire monologue explores and explodes traditional archetypes as he shares his compulsive desire to give and receive bizarre gifts, a religious fanaticism for Santa Claus, and an unhealthy love of true-crime holiday horror stories. “The Pope of Trash” gives you a Joyeux Noël like no other.
This performance includes adult content not suitable for children.
