John Waters: THE NAKED TRUTH

John Waters: THE NAKED TRUTH

Legendary filmmaker, writer, actor, and artist, John Waters returns to The Waldo with his new show: THE NAKED TRUTH. Ok, John Waters is finally coming clean, so to speak, and his all-new, secret-sharing, one-man crackpot comedy show dares to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the filthy truth. Over-sharing? You bet. Too much information? Maybe so, but airing his dirty laundry makes Waters feel clean. He’ll talk to you straight even when he’s definitely not. Waters knows the truth isn’t always pretty and he doesn’t shy away from the social horrors of our present times–-whimsical motion pictures, the humiliation of the human body and the unwanted nudity of fellow travelers in the airport. Yet Waters knows he’s not perfect either. He too has flaws. No matter what he preaches, he does judge others and in his show he names names and assigns blame. He stylishly blows up prejudice, humorously overthrows theocracy, and falls off the soapbox of self-righteous sexual politics and climbs right back on with a revolutionary horniness for a woke poke. Yessiree, Waters tells you the truth. The Naked Truth. Shut up and listen. Famed the world over for his trash epics including Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, Serial Mom, Cry Baby, Hairspray, and coming soon to the big screen, the film adaptation of his brilliantly twisted first novel, Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance. The recipient of numerous honors and accolades, most recently the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opened “John Waters: Pope of Trash,” the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to his contributions to cinema. He was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and American Cinema Editors selected Waters to receive the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award in 2024. Dreamland News : John Waters
