    John Waters: Devil’s Advocate
    Date: 2024-07-25     Time: 7 PM : 0 minutes

    We are beyond excited to welcome beloved filmmaker and pop-culture icon John Waters on stage – live! – performing his spoken word show Devil’s Advocate on Thursday, July 25 at Provincetown Town Hall as part of Payomet’s Road Show series.

    Is John Waters 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.
