Back by popular demand after a sold out 2010 engagement, and as filthy as ever, filmmaker, author, actor
and cult icon John Waters returns to the Harris Theater to perform “This Filthy World.” Waters is known for
his films Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Cecil B. DeMented and A Dirty Shame.
The legendary Waters returns with a totally new rapid-fire evening at the Harris Theater. “This Filthy World”
is Waters’ irreverent one-man act, in which he regales the audience with his film career and joyously appalling
taste. Updated and expanded from the original film version by the same name, the man affectionately known as “The Pope of Trash” presents this hilarious evening focusing on his early negative influences, fascination with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, extremes of the art world, Catholicism, sexual deviancy and his love of reading. As Waters says, “Life is nothing if you’re not obsessed!”
