Murray hill

NYC comedian & entertainer

Murray Hill is an NYC legend and one-man entertainment machine – comedian, host, actor, and walking time capsule of classic showbiz charm. With razor-sharp wit, quick-fire ad-libs, and a wink that could light up any room, Murray has spent decades turning every stage he steps on into his personal variety show.

You may recognize Murray as 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 currently hosts King of Drag (Revry) and previously hosted the competition series Drag Me to Dinner (Hulu).

Murray’s debut memoir, Showbiz! My Life As a Middle-Aged Man (Simon & Schuster Gallery Books), was released in October 2026.
