(le) poisson rouge

Comedian and renowned entertainer MURRAY HILL is a relentless retro shtick slinger, buster of audience chops and freewheeling ad-libber. The New York Times anointed Murray “the patriarch of downtown performance.” He's produced and starred in several theatrical productions: The Murray Hill Show, A Murray Little Christmas, Murray Hill: Caught in the Act, and This is Burlesque. He recently performed with Dita Von Teese for sold-out engagements in Los Angeles and Seattle’s Triple Door. Murray hosted the Immodesty Blaize Burlesque Show at London’s Arts Theatre in the West End. He’s also hosted sold-out burlesque shows at the Bloomsbury Ballroom (London), MTV Italia’s opening party for the Venice Film Festival, NY International Burlesque Festival, and Just For Laughs (Montreal) directed by Thierry Mugler. He's performed his comedy at top showrooms like Upright Citizen’s Brigade, Gotham Comedy Club, Comix, LA’s Billy Wilder Theater, and headlined his own show at Caroline’s on Broadway. Murray has toured with Le Tigre, hosted The Gossip and introduced the Beastie Boys, Antony and The Johnsons, to name a few. He’s been included in “Best of New York” lists in the Village Voice, Paper, and New York Magazine; inducted into Paper’s Nightlife Hall of Fame; and selected as OUT magazine’s Top 100 influential performers.
