King of Drag

He was also the host of the queer cabaret that was held at the Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Kansas, under the guise of using the space for choir practice.

In real life, Murray Hill is the persona he created to emcee innumerable drag king, burlesque, and music events, including the first TV drag king competition series called King of Drag.

His influences include old school comics like Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett, Dean Martin, Phyllis Diller, Totie Fields, and Joan Rivers, and musicians like Elvis and Tina Turner and Sammy Davis Jr.

In The New York Times, he was described as having, "A look that brings to mind a 1970s Las Vegas lounge singer crossed with a 1950s Borscht Belt comedian." But eventually, Murray Hill stopped being just a persona and became his full-time identity.

But then somebody decided to put Phoenix Leather Pride and Phoenix Pride in the same week.

So I made my list: King of Drag, Roll Call, Ignite the Night.

Perfect, three.

Then I looked at Sunday.

Kings, leather, bears, pups, kink, harnesses, rainbows for one glorious week.

Phoenix is screaming, "Gay harder." This is Bryan's Hot Four.

Hot pick number one: King of Drag viewing party.

Stacy's at 7:00 PM.

Love her.

Um, and Henlo's one of my favorite, uh, King of Drag kings ever, [laughs] so love him.

Absolutely.

I thought it was really good.
