This filthy world has certainly changed since John Waters' last visit in February 2020 — and so has his signature spoken word performance, now entitled, False Negative.

Lookin' to jack your lantern?!? Mash your monster?!? Kinda Kinky opens the night at 7 pm with a set chockful of tricks & treats.

The all-new, fast-moving, seventy-minute monologue gets a Halloweener holiday spin that will give fans of the artistically infected a really scary booster shot.

The man the French press recently called the “Queer Confucius” is back on the road and ready to give new goblins, witches, and everyone in between a reverse trigger-warning for this horror-house ride of post-covid comic thrills.       

John Waters doesn’t need a costume, he’s in disguise as himself every day of the year.

Trick or treat. You must excrete.

John Waters is a man of many monikers: The Prince of Puke, The Duke of Dirt, The Sultan of Sleaze. Any way you put it, John Waters is famed the world over for his trash epics including Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, Serial Mom, Cecil B. Demented and Hairspray.

False Negative is the next chapter in Waters' rapid-fire one-man spoken word Vaudevillean act, This Filthy World, celebrating the film career and joyously appalling taste of the man William Burroughs once called "The Pope of Trash.” In this live performance, the legend himself talks about his early negative artistic influences, including his fascination with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, the extremes of the art world, Catholicism, sexual deviancy and a love of reading.

Kinda Kinky are a band exclusively devoted to the music of The Kinks. Mixing many hits with deeper album cuts takes the audience on a rockin’ journey back in time. Seasoned vets of the Twin Cities music scene, these well respected men are one of the most disciplined, hardworking acts in town. With over 130 Kinks songs in their repertoire, they’re fronted by the uncanny Ray Davies soundalike Dave Randall, along with his sparring partner Keith Patterson and the very formidable rhythm section of Steve Kent and Paul McFarland. Kinda Kinky are more preservation society than tribute band - these four Kinkies like nothing more than rocking out & having fun, from morning ‘til the end of the day!
