Live Event
70 minutes
John Waters—beloved cult director—will be live and in the flesh at the Garneau Theatre, performing his new spoken word show “Devil’s Advocate” on October 28th!
This brand new, fast-moving, comedic monologue about today’s despair and diseases, and desires and desperations breaks through with an insane optimism that welcomes all audiences into a new dawn of depravity. He’s here to tell you how to reinvent the movie business, embrace stupidity in an intellectual way, and even go beyond the limits of sexual transgression. John Waters, the man the press has called “The People’s Pervert”, will mutate your madness into hope and lead you to a joyous delirious ever after.
