Two friends. Two icons. One-night-only.

Join comedian and NYC showbiz legend MURRAY HILL for a very special celebration of his new memoir, Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man, in conversation with punk rock icon, author, and longtime friend KATHLEEN HANNA. Expect a hilarious, candid, and completely unpredictable conversation about showbiz, survival, friendship, feminism, reinvention, and making it through. Come for the books, stay for the stories, and witness two originals who've spent their lives doing things their own way. Showbiz!

Following the conversation, Murray and Kathleen will take questions from the audience, then Murray will personally sign copies of Showbiz! for everyone who buys a book. Legendary LA independent bookstore BOOK SOUP will be on hand selling Murray’s memoir as well as the paperback edition of Kathleen’s bestselling memoir, Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Murray Hill is a one-man entertainment machine: comedian, host, actor, writer, producer, and walking time capsule of classic showbiz charm. Television audiences know him as the lovable Fred Rococo on HBO’s award-winning Somebody Somewhere, and from his appearances on Life & Beth (Hulu), Drag Me To Dinner (Hulu), Elsbeth (CBS), Welcome to Flatch (FOX), and King of Drag (Revry). NBC News selected him as one of modern history's 30 most iconic and influential drag performers, and New York magazine included him in the Fifty Most Iconic Gender Benders of All Time list.

Kathleen Hanna is a pioneering musician, writer, artist, and feminist activist whose fearless voice helped ignite the Riot Grrrl movement and reshape punk rock. As the frontwoman of the influential bands Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, and later The Julie Ruin, Hanna has spent more than three decades challenging sexism, championing self-expression, and inspiring generations of artists and activists. In 2024, Hanna published her acclaimed memoir, Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk, which became an instant New York Times bestseller and chronicles her life, music, activism, and the experiences that shaped her revolutionary creative voice.
