A John Waters Christmas Recommended

When: Sun., Nov. 29, 8 p.m. 2015
Price: $49.50-$115

Unholy Waters

When John Waters asked the MPAA ratings board what in particular about his 2004 sex comedy, A Dirty Shame, was sufficiently offensive to have resulted in the NC-17 tag, he was told that the film’s overall “tone” was the issue. Basically, Waters is an artist who was born to shine on the mischievous side of the naughty-nice spectrum, and he has enjoyed a brilliant career as a “pope of trash” and creator of campy, wacky, bad-taste entertainment. That spirit promises to guide his 2015 one-man holiday show, A John Waters Christmas: Holier and Dirtier, which he’ll perform in San Francisco this weekend. In it, the writer-director of films ranging from the cult-popular Pink Flamingos to the almost-mainstream Hairspray will poke fun at holiday traditions. Scheduled subjects include his religious fervor for Santa Claus, his love of real-life holiday horror stories, and his desire to remake all his films into children’s yuletide classics.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
