“Edinburgh is a magical place. I describe it as your first week of college meets the first time you go to New York City.”
WHO: Tim Murray: Writer/performer
WHAT: “From The Craft to Wicked to Hocus Pocus, Murray will have you howling at the moon in a tribute to queerness and how we discover our powers once we find our coven. Witches is an hour of stand-up, original comedy songs, drag and also, he flies. Okay, not really, but wouldn’t that be sickening? Murray can be seen on The Other Two, Swan Song starring Jennifer Coolidge, and all over TikTok with his viral comedy videos. His new sketch-comedy TV show Wish You Were Queer produced by Trixie Mattel will debut in 2024.”
WHERE: Underbelly, Bristo Square – The Dairy Room (Venue 302)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
This will be my third time at the fringe but my first time brining my own show for the entire month! I performed in Voldemort the musical and Thrones the musical (with my Baby Wants Candy friends) in 2018 and 2019 and I did some of my stand up on other shows those years. Edinburgh is a magical place. I describe it as your first week of college meets the first time you go to New York City and see so many posters for live theatre meets gay summer camp!
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2022 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
Care less what anybody else thinks of you or your art. The more I focus on what I want to do and worry less about how others will perceive my comedy the more traction I have gotten doing stand-up and making viral videos on the internet.
Tell us about your show.
My show is a Bo Burnam style comedy show with music about my favorite witches. It’s a love letter to queerness and why LGBTQ people feel connected to The Sanderson Sisters, The Craft, The Wicked Witch of the West and so many more. It’s very unique and very strange and I think very special. I wrote the stand up jokes and the lyrics. The music is written by Henry Koperski, Zach Reino and Matthew Patrick Davis. The show is produced by Wild Park Entertainment and Al Samuels (of Baby Wants Candy.) I did do the show five times in October of last year in cities in the United States and I will be touring the show again in the fall after Edinburgh to 13 different cities!
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
Chris Grace’s show Chris Grace as Scarlett Johansson is one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen. Chris and I did 50 Shades the Musical together off Broadway and we tour together doing stand up. He’s one of the funniest people on the planet and fringe audiences will recognize him from his many years doing Baby Wants Candy. Also check out Katy Berry’s Diamond Goddess Crystal Pussy and Sophie Santos’ Co-Dependent. Plus Patti Harrison’s show! They’re all unbelievably funny comedians.
