Murray Hill also expressed his excitement for this new adventure: “I’m so excited to be working with Revry as the host of King of Drag. I’ve been performing since 1995, so it’s long overdue for the Kings to take centre stage. This vibrant community deserves to be in the spotlight and I’m going to be their biggest hype man. I can’t wait to work with the Kings and introduce them to the biggest audience possible, thanks to Revry. That’s showbiz“.
