Praised by the \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e for his “manic, witty commentary,” and with a storytelling talent \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e calls “\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e– worthy,” he puts a comedic spin on full-disclosure episodes from his own colorful life. In “I Feel, You Feel” he opens for Aretha Franklin during a blizzard. “Promises” is a front-row account of Liza Minnelli’s infamous wedding to “the man whose name shall go unmentioned.” In “The Zoo Story” Harris desperately searches for a common bond with his rough-and-tumble four-year-old son.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n What better place to find painfully funny material than in growing up gay, gifted, and ambitious in the heart of the Bible belt? And that’s just the first cut: From partying to parenting, from Sunday school to getting sober, these slices of \u003ci\u003eHam\u003c\/i\u003e will have you laughing and wiping away salty tears in equal measure with their universal and down-to-earth appeal. After all, there’s a little ham in all of us.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150838087838,"sku":"HPC-9781476733449","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781476733449.jpg?v=1780272725","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781476733449","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
