A John Waters Christmas: ‘Holier & Dirtier’ – at The Sheldon in St. Louis December 3rd

John Waters (of PINK FLAMINGOS and HAIRSPRAY fame) was last in town October of 2008 to perform his This Filthy World one-man show at the Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries. We Are Movie Geeks is thrilled to report that the ‘Prince of Puke’ will be returning to the Sheldon to perform an unforgettable night of holiday mischief with his critically acclaimed one man show, A John Waters Christmas: Holier & Dirtier, on December 3rd beginning at 8pm. Waters pokes fun at the holiday season with adult-appropriate humor, effectively “putting the X in Xmas,” developing a show for the open minded and slightly left-of-center audience.

The cult classic, Baltimore-born filmmaker began his Hollywood success with now Broadway classic, Hairspray, in 1988. Claiming his playful nicknames “Pope of Trash” and “Prince of Puke,” he maintains his image through his filmmaking and his personal presentation. Regarded as a shocking entertainer, John Waters carefully chooses his material and exploits it through a dirty lens. “It’s my obsession with Christmas: what I want for Christmas, what you should want, how to handle every holiday disaster,” Waters says. His rapid-fire monologue explores and explodes the traditional holiday rituals and traditions as he shares his religious fanaticism for Santa Claus, and an unhealthy love of real life holiday horror stories. Delving into his passion for lunatic exploitation Christmas movies and the unhealthy urge to remake all his own films into seasonal children’s classics, “The Pope of Trash” will give you a Joyeux Noel like no other.

The Sheldon is located at 3648 Washington Boulevard, St. Louis, 63108 , minutes from Interstates 64 (40) and 44 in Grand Center, just off of Grand on Washington Boulevard.
