Murray Hill is Mr. Showbiz, baby!

Murray Hill's might be the longest overnight success story in Hollywood history. A staple in comedy clubs, the burlesque scene and New York’s queer underground for nearly 30 years now, he's currently got roles on HBO’s "Somebody Somewhere," Amy Schumer’s  "Life and Beth" and Paul Feig's "Welcome to Flatch." The easy shorthand is to call Hill “the RuPaul of drag kings.” But it’s a label he himself avoids, preferring simply “comedian,” or “Murray” if you’re nasty—just your ordinary heavy-set middle-aged guy who can rock a three-piece suit and work a room.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: [email protected]  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope
