John Waters Tickets

Mr. Waters did not disappoint. He is poignant and funny and his takes on life are timeless. The venue was very crowded, we moved just so we could use our elbows to read the program. The sound was bad, the volume was too low and the talk and noise from the lobby seeped into the room where we were sitting. Very warm for an April event as well. None of this ruined our experience but I'm glad it wasn't the middle of summer.

Not what I expected. Was only a hour & a half. Won’t do it again.

John Waters talked for most of the hour about himself and all of his movies, plays, art work. His references both to his own work and the celebrities he knows and interacts with regularly are completely lost on folks who don’t share his life experience. His continual referencing stars and famous people of 40 years ago is lost on the young, referencing nitty gritty details of his own work is lost on those who are not groupies. He was seemingly unaware of the audience being silent for much of his act.

If I could see only one show for the rest of my life, this would be it.

John Waters was excellent and the entire event was very well organized. Everyone was checked for vaccination cards or negative Covid tests and masks were required which made me feel safer in an environment filled with people. The show was funny and was so interesting hearing stories about his life and the people he’s met along the way.

Mr. Waters premieres his new show to work out the bugs in front of a paying audience. Some of it worked some didn't. John, though, is a fabulously humorous director, producer, and comedian and I did enjoy his show in the wonderful Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh. I'm sure if I had seen one of his next upcoming shows I would have rated it a 5 star performance.

First time in my life that I've been starstruck. To get to see and listen to a man who's career has been as illustrious and controversial as John Water's, was a true privilege and worth every penny and minute of the 2+hr drive to see him.

He was great. I’ve seen him several times. However, one quibble. He should repeat the audience question. I heard his answers but usually I couldn’t hear the question. He asked (at the end) if he said anything offensive. He didn’t but I’d like a little. Perhaps the Donald would be listening. Kinda doubt it

This was a brilliant night of laughs. It's actually a very good event for the more chilled crowd. The venue doesn't get hot. There's organized food and beverage service and it is a seated event. Parking is right next door but pricey. I took a lyft instead of driving. Amazing hassel free evening.

Unadulterated filth! Would you expect or want anything more?

I've always loved John Water's movies. It was cool to actually see him and hear him talk about his experiences. Most of what he said I had heard in interviews already. I expected a little more from him, but I would have gone even if he stood their in silence all night. The cool part was he did a Q&A at the end of the session. The bad part was he was adamant that no one took his picture.

When I initially saw John Waters listed as a concert event I was quite surprised. Didn't even know he did this sort of thing. Always have been a fan of his movies and made an immediate decision to go see him live. Worth the 12 hour round trip to see him.

Smartly funny, educational, interesting and charming.

Saw John Waters last night. I had not had so many laughs in quite sometime. He is absolute brilliant. Not a dull moment. He won over the crowd and could have packed another house right away. Loved the Q&A at the end.

Wrong venue for this, but given how John phoned it in, the lack of appropriate venue did not matter. I'm a big fan, have seen him live before, but he seemed in a hurry to recite his canned lines and get the hell out. What a let down.

John Waters delivered rapid-fire monologue that amusingly skewered nearly all popular culture icons. Too bad he didn't talk more about his films, and their back stories.

show was funny as hell, his stand up lasted about 90 minutes and we actually got to see debbie harry there too! (blondie) b.b. kings is a great venue with cabaret style seating right in front of the stage and the southern style food was awesome!!

We were laughing hysterically, non-stop, through the entire performance. John has to have the quickest wit of anyone out there. Fast paced, non stop wit and laughs. Even the random questions from the audience led to respectful, informative answers...and still more amazingly witty laughs.

John is one of the funniest people on the planet to hear speak. Service at BB Kings is the worst! So overpriced and you are ignored! Avoid the venue but definitely see John any opportunity you get!

John Waters, the beloved-if-not-Oscar-worthy director of his very own genre of Trash Cinema, began his appearance at B.B. King's wonderful Times Square venue by taking a single shallow breath which seemed to last for an hour and fifteen minutes. Waters delivery is machine-gun quick and laugh-packed while his attitude seems to suggest that everyone thinks like he does. The juxtaposition he exhibits is a metaphorical tea with your favorite uncle who can't seem to stop picking his genitals and showing you the nits. Of course, as his bonded family, we can't WAIT to see them! Mr. Waters' career has been long and his films have endured much like he has, looking better with age. His trademarked pencil thin mustache which he once entreated David Letterman to feel, Letterman declined, was in evidence as was his innate ability to charm and shock. Thank goodness! If ever one has the opportunity to encounter Waters in performance or on the street I heartily advise one to do so. If you see him on the go don't hesitate to blurt one of his many memorable lines as you pass. If you hurry to Baltimore you may get in "NOT ON CHRISTMAS! NOT ON CHRISTMAS!" just in the nick of time. (On a side note I'd like to say our server Sarah and "the stalker" she was training were delightful and fun! Not easily done but they did.)
