Murray Hill is a New York City based American comedian, drag king, actor, television host, and entertainer.
"[6] In The Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures, Jack Halberstam praised Hill for "transforming masculinity and exposing its theatricality with profound results".
[8] Hill is transgender[9] and started performing in 1996, when the cutting-edge chic of the East Village waned as the neighborhood gentrified, the art galleries moved for cheaper rent in Chelsea, and the music scene shifted to the Pacific Northwest.
Hill is a frequent event emcee in Lower Manhattan, including the annual "Ms. Lez" competition,[11] a bingo night with co-host drag queen Linda Simpson, and a variety of burlesque and theater performances.
He has performed at parties hosted by Joan Rivers and Liza Minnelli; and his acts incorporate homages to Joey Adams, Benny Hill, Sammy Davis Jr., and Henny Youngman.
