Provocateur John Waters skewers Christmas (which he loves!) in a traveling show that lands in Solana Beach on Sunday
Over the years, John Waters has picked up quite a few nicknames. The 76-year-old filmmaker, author, photographer, actor and artist has been labeled everything from the “Prince of Puke” and “Sultan of Sleaze” to the “Baron of Bad Taste” and, perhaps most famously, the “Pope of Trash.”
Since releasing “A John Waters Christmas” in 2004 — a compilation album of handpicked holiday oddities — the polymath provocateur has toured a Christmas-themed, one-man show of the same name. With past versions of the performance earning subtitles like “Filthier and Merrier,” “A Yuletide Massacre” and “Holier and Dirtier,” it’s hard to imagine that an overarching theme of hope is responsible for the show’s enduring popularity. But even without a provocative subhead on this year’s poster, Waters has a guess as to why fans continue to spend at least one night of their holiday with him year after year.
That is, until COVID hit. And while the pandemic did inspire Waters to pen yet another stand-up show, “False Negative,” it may have shut down his annual Christmas party for good. As soon as this current tour wraps up, Waters is set to start writing the screenplay for “Liarmouth: A Feel-bad Romance,” his debut novel that was published earlier this year. Now optioned by Village Roadshow Pictures, Waters is set to be back behind the director’s chair for the first time since 2004.
