John Waters – the legendary filmmaker, comedian, artist & so-called “Pope of Trash” – is set to bring his The Naked Truth comedy tour to the Rio Grande Theatre on Friday, April 18, 2025 at 8pm. Tickets are $55 for general admission seating or $115 for VIP Meet-and-Greet Q+A tickets featuring a reserved second-row seat (front row is sold out) and are on-sale now at EPHardins.org.

John Waters is no stranger to pushing artistic boundaries and controversy, being responsible for acclaimed cult films like “Pink Flamingos,” “Hairspray,” “Cry-Baby,” “Serial Mom,” “Female Trouble” and many more.

“Given his status as one of the most singular artistic minds in art and cinema history, we are thrilled to bring John Waters for his first-ever performance in the borderland,” says Hardin’s Music Saloon Executive Director Vincent Edward Arrieta. “Several years ago, I interviewed John Waters for a publication in Arizona, and he and I made an informal deal that if I ever got my nonprofit up-and-running, I would invite him to speak or perform in El Paso or Las Cruces, so here we are.”
