Known for his irreverent humor, fearless storytelling, and boundary-pushing films (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Serial Mom), Waters will deliver an unfiltered and wildly entertaining early evening lawn performance, sharing his sharp-witted takes on art, film, politics, and pop culture. Naked Truth promises to be a no-holds-barred journey through the mind of one of America’s most notorious provocateurs.

“John Waters has always been a trailblazer for unapologetic self-expression and a champion of the underground,” said Loren Ostrow, CEO of Living Out. “We are thrilled to welcome him to Living Out, where his bold, fearless spirit aligns perfectly with our mission to celebrate individuality, authenticity, and joy.”

This exclusive event on the lawn at Living Out—Palm Springs’  premier 55+ active adult community designed for the LGBTQ community and its allies—offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Waters’ signature blend of wit, wisdom, and delightful depravity in an intimate setting.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening with one of America’s most subversive and beloved storytellers. Seating is limited, so secure your spot now!

Following the performance, attendees are invited to dine at the on-site restaurant, Alice B., operated by celebrity chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken. Guests can also visit the bar for seasonal bites, classic cocktails or a glass of wine.

Inspired by the extraordinary life of Alice B. Toklas and her life partner Gertrude Stein, the restaurant establishes a welcoming space where culinary excellence, art, and community converge. The inviting bar and dining room reference the iconic mid-century modern style Palm Springs is famous for.
