Waters will be on stage at Wellington’s Opera House on Monday October 31 and Auckland’s Civic on Wednesday November 2.

In this rapid-fire monologue celebrating his joyously bad taste, Waters will regale with stories about his career from the Underground to Hollywood. This Filthy World celebrates the film career and obsessive tastes of the man William Burroughs once called “The Pope of Trash”. Focusing on Waters’ early artistic influences, his fascination with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, and the extremes of the contemporary art world, this joyously devious performance elevates all that is trashy in life into a call to arms to filth followers everywhere.
