Bill Oakley Presents: Steamed Hams — The 30th Anniversary Live Show
Celebrate the 30th anniversary year of one of the most beloved and enduring scenes in television history with Emmy Award–winning writer and former The Simpsons showrunner Bill Oakley.
Join us Sunday, September 13th at 7:30pm at the Fullsteam Theater -- 320 Blackwell, Durham, NC, in the heart of the American Tobacco Campus -- for a one-night-only live event! Bill Oakley, writer of the iconic “Steamed Hams” scene, will take the Fullsteam Theater stage to present the first live show devoted entirely to one of television’s most famous comedy sketches.
Over 60 minutes, Bill reveals how the scene was created, the unexpected inspirations behind it, and how a four-and-a-half-minute segment from a 1996 episode became one of the internet’s most enduring and widely shared comedy memes.
Featuring behind-the-scenes stories, rare video clips, never-before-heard details from the writing of the scene, and audience interaction, this is a unique opportunity to hear the complete story of “Steamed Hams” directly from the writer who created it.
Optional 7pm Add-On: VIP Steamed Ham Reception!
Come thirty minutes prior to get a sneak preview of our Public House burger, with a beer (or wine or cider) to pair with it! We'll mingle in the Stoker Club reception area before the show begins at 7:30pm. Vegan burger available as well.
