LAS VEGAS (January 2025) – Miss Behave’s Mavericks, the ever-changing, world-class variety show, announces a special, one-night-only performance featuring the legendary MURRAY HILL in the historic Plaza Hotel & Casino Showroom. Murray’s one-man show with the band marks his solo show debut in Las Vegas.
Join the beloved tuxedo-clad comedian, larger-than-life personality and TV star for an “intimate” (hey, take it easy!) evening of stand-up, shtick, song, rimshots, rampant ad-libbing and crowd work. Mr. Showbiz details his chronic middle-aged crisis, trials and tribulations, botched love affairs, numerous comebacks and—kinda, finally, almost—“making it” after decades in showbiz. Like the Vegas comedy shows of yesteryear, Hill will be accompanied by his swinging band Jordan Katz & The Stiff Gimlets with special guest Las Vegas singer Melody Sweets.
“Mavericks will always honor the beautiful bricks and mortar that is The Plaza. We are passionate about quality entertainment and classic showbiz. Our beautiful showroom allows us to bring the best of the best. We are so excited to launch special events with an absolute legend. Vegas done right…and we’re only just getting started. Long live Downtown!” says Miss Behave (aka Amy Saunders).
Hill adds, “My shows have always paid homage to the great Las Vegas lounge comics, my heroes: Shecky Greene and Don Rickles. I’ve wanted to do my own show in Vegas forever but never found the perfect room…until now. The Plaza Hotel & Casino Showroom is 100% old-school showbiz, complete with red curtains, banquettes and lots of booze. It’s truly the ideal home for me and my show.”
Murray Hill will perform on Monday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m. All attendees must be 21 or older. A limited number of early bird tickets are available starting at $35. A post-show meet-and-greet is available as an add-on for all ticket types, allowing guests to meet Murray one-on-one and take photos. For more information, or to purchase tickets, click here.
