I love John waters, I really do. I saw him 20 years ago do a talk at Stanford university. He was hilarious. The recent event was so-so. His non-stop delivery was pretty impressive but he went too fast for the jokes to sink in. The material was interesting and ribald and gross. All perfect. But I left wanting more.
While we have always enjoyed John Waters' movies, we were not prepared for the hilariously non PC hour and a half standup that he did which flew by like Christmas Day to a ten year-old. I knew Divine and have worked in the theatre with Mink Stole, so it felt like I was listening, in part, to irreverent stories about the family. What was interesting was the demographics of the audience...it could have been, partly, the same people who uased to go to see the Oprah Winfrey Show. What a holiday gift!
AWESOME .. HILARIOUS .. The whole show was well thought out and executed to a T.
I loved this show. John Waters is hysterical and BB King's is a great venue. I highly recommend this show.
I try to avoid anything at BB Kings due to the poor quality food and seating. This show was good enough that I forgot where I was watching it and had a fantastic time. Simply put- It's everything fans want and expect from the great John Waters.
I took my husband to see this for his birthday because he is a longtime fan. (I only know Hairspray, but love that.) We both were highly entertained and laughed alot. Even though the humor is pretty adult, it is so intelligent that even a more reserved person such as myself can appreciate it. It was really a fun evening!
i wished that the show went a little longer-I could of listened to him all night. Very funny and natural - he talked to everyone like he was your best friend!!
This was my first time to B.B. Kings. I have to say i was really impressed with the way the place looked. I was greeted by the staff with warm smiles and they were so helpful. I had purchased VIP seats, so I was sitting down the stairs mid section. They were great seats. I just loved, loved loved John Waters Christmas show. He was wonderful and so funny. I was at the December 19th show and I would have gone the next night so see again if I could. If he was there again for next Christmas I would be there again with bells on!.
An amazing and hilarious show! Not for the faint of heart....I loved every minute!
John Waters is as hysterical now as he was many years ago when I saw him perform. I'm surprised he doesn't do stand-up more regularly, but when he's on stage a five minute conversation seems like a five hour long one... he packs a lot into a punch! Love his sense of self-deprecation and his fascination with youth culture... and how he ties the two together in sometimes uncomfortable, yet witty ways.
John Waters was great, as one would expect: Funny, insightful, shocking, tasteless, entertaining. You name it. Wasn't crazy about the venue. Felt a little crammed-in with the way BB Kings squeezes every possible seat in there. But it wasn't enough to ruin the show for me.
This show was filthy, disgusting and EXTREMELY offensive!! Which is EXACTLY what I paid for and Mr. Waters did NOT disappoint in that regard! Not only was his monologue distasteful and hilarious, He also answered at least 20 questions from the audience and even had the patience to give autographs to a line of people so long that it went out of the auditorium!! Mr. Waters was so generous of his time that it added greatly to my already very high respect for the him!!!
Highly entertaining and guaranteed to lighten your mood. Waters is a great storyteller and is never averse to pushing buttons. Even the targets of his barbs would have to agree that he skewers them with style.
John Waters is an amazing man. This performance was hysterical and heart warming and full of everything that I love about him. If you are a John Waters fan you will love his filthy world!
Great show- entertaining and funny. Definitely recommended.
Wow! John Waters was fantastic and so gracious. He stated after the program to sign autographs and to talk briefly with his fans. We talked a bit about the Sylvia Likens murder. He talked about his movies and some general and not so general observations. He is one of my idols, my favorite movie director, and I got to see him in person and talk to him. IF he comes back to Indy, I'll be there.
Some of his material even gave me nightmares...it was great! The only thing I did not like was the gal who asked him what was going on with his jacket!? What? He looked great. It is wonderful and inspiring to hear about how his disturbing creations were born. To listen to someone speak who started from the ground up and made his filthy dreams come true! He was born to make these perverted films and his energy and ambition all throughout John Waters' life is what every aspiring artist should look up to!
It was great and funny, but don't take anyone shy or easily offended... or do and see what happens.
Such a fantastic show. Waters is so open, honest and humorous about his life and work. For any true fan, the show is a treat.
