I have known Murray since Peter and him started the tours and he is always wonderful, so it was my pleasure to sit down and finally interview him.
How did you and Peter meet?
At a Detroit circuit party in 1996. We locked eyes instantly upon sight, and then the story wrote itself.
How long have you guys been producing shows?
LGBTQ+ shows since 1997. I’ve been promoting concerts since the 80’s.
How did you create Murray and Peter Presents and DragFans.com?
It made sense to use our names, so the community knew who we were. DragFans was a natural website for fans of drag. Now we have a registered trademark on the name.
Haters Roast, by a long shot. The jokes are nasty fun and there was always one drunk queen on every tour that turned the party, and social media.
Other than South Florida, is there a city or a venue you always look forward to?
Orpheum Theatre in Omaha and State Theatre Portland ME. The smaller cities always bang it out.
Describe yourselves in 3 words?
The biggest queen.
Describe Peter in 3 words?
Dedicated to success.
When you are not on the road what do you do for fun?
We are always on the road…lol… so we make our own fun along the way. Our new show “Golden Girls The Laughs Continue” is a huge hit so we are always working. It’s played in over 100 cities and we’ve extended the tour to another 100+ cities in 2025.
For the 10th Anniversary tour, we have the most winners ever on the show. And this year’s production value is over the top. We still can’t believe the tour moves with 2 semis, 2 trucks and 2 buses. There’s over 30 people traveling with the tour. We’ve come a long way. And it all started out with us flying from city to city, renting cars and chasing lost luggage. Thank God those days are behind us.
What does the future hold for Murray and Peter Presents and DragFans.com?
We have a passion to get back into the nightclub business with an eye on Fort Lauderdale. As for drag, we hope to bring back Haters Roast.. if the fans are ready for a night of insensitive comedy, all in good fun.
