Dick (John Waters' "Pecker"), former Mr. Bushwig Myster E Mel Kiki, and 2021 Entertainer of the Year at the Silver Tusk Burlesque Awards Uncle Freak* with DJ Half 'N Half (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Murray Hill).

In his debut memoir, Showbiz! My Life As a Middle-Aged Man, beloved comedian Murray Hill (Somebody Somewhere) opens up for the first time about how a painful past led to an unwavering commitment to spread joy-one rimshot at a time. Warm, fearless, and laugh-out-loud funny, Showbiz! is Murray Hill's story of survival, reinvention, and finding joy against the odds. Because when life hands you trauma, you turn it into a tight five. That's Showbiz!
Murray Hill
(aka Mister Showbiz) is a one-man entertainment machine: comedian, host, actor, writer, producer, and walking time capsule of classic showbiz charm. Television audiences know him as the lovable Fred Rococo on HBO's award-winning Somebody Somewhere. NBC News selected him as one of modern history's 30 most iconic and influential drag performers, and he's been included in New York magazine's Fifty Most Iconic Gender Benders of All Time. His campaign for Mayor of New York in 1996 was inducted into the New York Historical Society. He was just awarded the Trailblazer Award from Queerty. His forthcoming memoir, Showbiz! My Life As a Middle-Aged Man will be released by Simon & Schuster Gallery Books on October 6 (now available for preorder at mistershowbiz.com).
