MURRAY HILL: Showbiz!
The Tour & Talkback
One mic, one man, one band and a lifetime of material… what could possibly go right?!
From the Margins to the Marquee—One Night Only! Celebrating the release of his forthcoming debut memoir Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man, comedian Murray Hill hits the road with a one-of-a-kind show that is part cabaret, part stand-up, and part behind-the-curtain tell-all. The self-proclaimed “hardest working middle-aged man in show business” brings his signature mix of razor-sharp wit, rampant ad-libbing, and heartfelt storytelling to the stage for a night of big laughs and hard-won wisdom from an outsider who made it his way.
Backed by his swinging live band THE BALONEY SANDWICHES, Murray Hill turns every show into a full-throttle cabaret concert comedy spectacle. With retro flair and a wink of mischief, he works the room seamlessly between storytelling, crowd work, and musical moments. It’s loose, unpredictable, and alive, where anything can happen and usually does.
With humor, heart, and zero filter, Murray proves that making it on your own terms is the greatest show of all. Showbiz!
Following the show, Murray will take questions from the audience in a live Q&A. And because he’s the hardest working middle-aged man in show business, he’ll stick around after the event to sign every single person’s book — no rush, no line left behind!
In his powerful debut memoir Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man, beloved comedian Murray Hill opens up for the first time about how a painful past led to an unwavering commitment to spread joy — one rimshot at a time.
Murray on his book: “Let’s just say the world could use a little more heart and a lot more honesty right now. I’ve always believed in chosen family, resilience, and a well-timed punchline — this book is all three. It’s not just about where I’ve been, it’s about how we keep going.”
The self-proclaimed hardest-working middle-aged man in show business, Murray Hill is a one-man entertainment machine: comedian, host, actor, writer, producer, and walking time capsule of classic showbiz charm. With razor-sharp wit, quickfire ad-libs, and a wink that could light up any stage, Murray has spent decades turning every stage he steps on into his own personal variety show. He played the lovable Fred Rococo on HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, the Peabody-winning, AFI-honored comedy that also earned a Critics’ Choice LGBT+ Ensemble Award. He’s popped up everywhere from Life & Beth and Drag Me To Dinner (Hulu) to Elsbeth (CBS), Welcome to Flatch (FOX), and King of Drag (Revry). On the big screen, he starred in Paul Feig’s Jackpot! with John Cena and Awkwafina, and will share holiday cheer with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the upcoming movie Man With The Bag.
Murray’s talents extend beyond performance. He’s served as a guest correspondent for ABC News and Hulu’s Pride Across America, reporting live from the nation’s biggest Pride celebrations. NBC News named him one of the “30 Most Iconic and Influential Drag Performers in Modern History.” His debut memoir, Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man will be published by Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books October 6, 2026.
His work spans theater, television, and international touring, solidifying his reputation as a singular voice in comedy and a champion of inclusive, joy-driven performance. Murray Hill brings an old-school showbiz sensibility to a new generation, proving that quick wit, big heart, and a well-timed rimshot never go out of style.
“His ability to effortlessly cast a warm, festive glow about him feels akin to a superpower.” – The Hollywood Reporter
