Henry Winkler and Cheyenne Jackson star in The Performers, a new comedy centered on the adult film industry. Winkler plays Chuck Wood, an aging porn star, and Jackson is Mandrew, an aspiring porn actor. Things get complicated when Lee, a high school friend of Mandrew’s and a reporter for a New York newspaper, shows up.

Do porn actors really have a love life, do they feel in the same way the rest of the world does and is their life really one anyone should envy? The Performers, the new comedy by David West Read (The Dream of the Burning Boy), looks at porn performers as real people, as Lee, a newspaper reporter, catches up with his former high school friend at the Adult Film Awards in Las Vegas.  Lee envies Mandrew’s position in the porn industry. The injection of Lee’s energy into the situation turns the night of the awards upside down, threatens relationships and exposes new emotions.
