SUMMARY:John Waters at Moontower Comedy Festival
DESCRIPTION:John Waters headlines the Moontower Comedy Festival!  \nJohn WatersThe Filthiest Birthday Ever!The Paramount TheatreSaturday\, April 19\, 2025 \nDoors: 6pmShow: 7pm \nOk\, John Waters is finally coming clean\, so to speak\, and his all-new\, secret-sharing\, one-man crackpot comedy show dares to tell the truth\, the whole truth and nothing but the filthy truth. It’s an endless bag of trans-gressive and hetero-non-aggressive twisted tales that will warm the dark little hearts of non-binary brats all over the world. Over-sharing? You bet. Too much information? Maybe so\, but airing his dirty laundry makes Waters feel clean. He’ll talk to you straight even when he’s definitely not. \nWaters knows the truth isn’t always pretty and he doesn’t shy away from the social horrors of our present times–-whimsical motion pictures\, free porn you should pay for\, the humiliation of the human body and the unwanted nudity of fellow travelers in the airport. Yet Waters knows he’s not perfect either. He too has flaws. No matter what he preaches\, he does judge others and in his show he names names and assigns blame. He even admits to being a terrorist–-but a “good” terrorist\, one that stylishly blows up prejudice\, humorously overthrows theocracy\, and falls off the soapbox of self-righteous sexual politics and climbs right back on with a revolutionary horniness for a woke poke. Yessiree\, Waters tells you the truth. The Naked Truth. Shut up and listen. \nIT’S BEST WHEN YOU FEST WITH A BADGE: All festival badge holders get presale access to two weeks of headliners—including THIS ONE—plus you’ll experience our 4-day comedy club binge with 100+ comics\, parties\, and so much more. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/553591940969699/
