Returning due to popular demand and hot off its sold-out, award-winning run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Tim Murray is WITCHES is a mix of stand-up and original comedy songs about Tim's favorite pop culture WITCHES! Murray is like a gay Bo Burnham, but painted green and doing drag! 

The show is a tribute to LGBTQIA people and how we discover our magic once we find our coven. Murray speaks to the many queer people who feel like we have to hide ourselves to fit in and we our powers grow stronger once we find our queer family. 

With personal stories about how much Wicked means to him (as well as Hocus Pocus, The Craft, and more!), Murray celebrates famous sorceresses throughout herstory and uses their stories as a parallel to the queer witch hunt he experienced growing up in the Midwest and continues to navigate as a teacher today. 

Tim Murray has performed stand-up all over the U.S. including SF Sketchfest, The Brooklyn Comedy Festival and DragCon. In 2024, his Trixie Mattel-produced sketch comedy TV show ‘Wish You Were Queer’ debuted to several 5-star reviews from Edinburgh Fringe. It was additionally nominated for an Off-West End award and WON Best Musical show from Entertainment Now. Murray has been a regular on Bowen Yang's popular podcast Las Culturistas live shows. Recently he worked on the 2025 Tony Awards with Cynthia Erivo following several viral social media moments and has filmed Tim Murray is Witches in Seattle for his first comedy special. Don’t miss your chance to see it live and in person!
