Actor Sam Harris gets personal in a filmed performance of his stage show HAM: A Musical Memoir

Based on the bestselling collection of essays and the original stage show directed by “Pose” star Billy Porter, HAM: A Musical Memoir tells the comic and poignant true story of longtime recording artist and actor Sam Harris.

This new filmed version captures Sam’s critically acclaimed, multiple-award winning live stage show in which Harris plays himself at various ages, as well as ten other characters, recounting personal stories of friendship, love, celebrity, getting sober and growing up gay in the Bible Belt during the 1960s and ‘70s.

As he reached higher and higher levels of success – Broadway, television, albums, awards, a gig at Carnegie Hall – Sam realized that, for him, less is less… and more is never enough.

After the highs and lows of a life in show business, Sam is finally forced to confront the merciless question: what is enough?

In the brand new Dekkoo-Original Comedy Series Marriage of Inconvenience, two total strangers entering a witness protection program must pretend to be happily married to hide their identities from the dangerous people who want them dead!

Franklin (David Singletary) is an even-tempered English professor who prides himself on his attention to detail in every area of his carefully structured life. Owen (Jason T. Gaffney) is a messy, street-smart dropout with anger issues, forced into a life of crime against his will.
