Episode 46: GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF MAN-O-PAUSE with Mr. Showbiz Murray Hill
⚡️MENOPUNKS PODCAST ⚡️Show Notes
⚡️On this weeks pod we had the honor and delight of hearing from one of the funniest and most entertaining humans in the universe - MR. SHOWBIZ himself - actor & comedian Murray Hill!!
Murray deep dives into his memoir, *Showbiz: My Life as a Middle-Aged Man*, including his beginnings in drag king performance and trans identity, addiction, abuse, survival, and reinvention. He gets into overcoming rejection and bigotry in the biz, his brilliant stint as Fred on the wonderfully ground breaking show Somebody Somewhere with goddess genius Bridget Everett, the absolute importance of queer representation on screen and in comedy clubs, his overnight descent into rage, brain fog and the inability to cope in dealing with peri/meno as a middle age man, how imagining a more caring, equitable future where people feel like they belong, health care is accessible, and marginalized communities help drive real change can change everything AND LOTS MORE!💥
❤️🔥It was beyond a thrill to get under the hood of life as a middle aged man with Murray! His hilarious book “SHOWBIZ” comes out 10/6 PRE-ORDER NOW! 📕❤️🔥
