John Waters Performs One-man Show With a Holiday Twist TONIGHT at the Paramount Theatre, 12/12

The man behind such cult classics as 'Pink Flamingos', 'Desperate Living', and 'Hairspray' may have been absent from the big screen in the recent past, but he continues to inject his quirky passion into a myriad projects, including penning a selection of books (his newest, 'Role Models,' will be out in 2010), staging and performing a one-man autobiographical show called 'This Filthy World', and hosted the Court TV series 'Til Death Do Us Part', amongst other ventures. Now, as reported by Austin 360, he's bringing his holiday touring show, a one-man monologue with his own unique slant on Christmas, to Austin's Paramount Theatre tonight, December 12.

Of the show, Waters explains what audiences can expect, "'I constantly change it,' Waters says. 'It covers everything - my childhood, what I want, what you should want, how to be happy even if you're neurotic at Christmas."
