The Camelot Theatres are proud to host the California premiere of Shores' hysterical new standup DVD where his cult classic Sordid Lives played a record 96 weeks! For this one night only event, Shores will be hosting with some new material, then the DVD screening will premiere where Sordid history was made. This was Shores' third and most successful national tour. The DVD was filmed live at the legendary Rose Room in Dallas, Texas. In DEL SHORES NAKED.SORDID.REALITY., Del shares more sordid stories about his Texas family, reads letters he's written to the haters (including Newt Gingrich and Kirk Cameron), acts out scenes from your favorite reality shows (including Hoarders and The Real Housewives) and addresses his unexpected, single life. "Del says what most people think. He has no censor -- on or offstage. Audiences love him because of his 'bless-their-hearts' Texas charm," explains Caroline Rhea. "Look, I had a bad breakup right before this tour. I tried to take the high road, but the low road is so much more scenic," Shores jokes. "Seriously, though, the laughter from this tour helped me heal and I'm very proud of the DVD." Del Shores is a writer, director, producer, activist and comic. His career took off with the 1987 play Daddy's Dyin' (Who's Got The Will?) and the subsequent 1990 film. He is best known for his 1996 play Sordid Lives which became a film in 1999 and later gave birth to an acclaimed 2008 TV series for Logo.

The Los Angeles Drama Critics Association awarded Shores Best Production and Best World Premiere for Trailer Trash and Yellow. Del's film Blues For Willadean (an adaptation of Trailer Trash Housewife), staring Beth Grant, Octavia Spencer, Dale Dickey, David Steen and Debby Holiday, was just released on DVD.
