SUMMARY:Extra Credit
DESCRIPTION:Extra Credit combines academic research from 3 professors at the University of Michigan with improv comedy from top performers at hear.say theater. Just like the audience\, the improvisers have no advanced notice about what is being presented! They take inspiration from each presentation in the moment to create laugh-out-loud scenes\, memorable characters\, and surprising connections across the research. We guarantee big laughs\, and who knows\, you might just learn something. Come see why Extra Credit is one of the most popular recurring shows at hear.say. \nThe Ark’s Artist Spotlight Series is made possible with support from Ford Philanthropy. It is presented live\, and also livestreamed on The Ark’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. \nFREE SHOW. Tickets are not required.\nNonperishables accepted for Food Gatherers\, but not required to attend the concert.

SUMMARY:Murray Hill - Showbiz! The Tour
DESCRIPTION:From the Margins to the Marquee—One Night Only! \nCelebrating the release of his debut memoir Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man\, comedian Murray Hill hits the road with a one-of-a-kind show that is part cabaret\, part stand-up\, and part behind-the-curtain tell-all. The self-proclaimed “hardest working middle-aged man in show business” brings his signature mix of razor-sharp wit\, rampant ad-libbing\, and heartfelt storytelling to the stage for a night of big laughs and hard-won wisdom from an outsider who made it his way. This show marks Murray’s debut comedy show in Ann Arbor! \nBacked by his swinging live band THE BALONEY SANDWICHES\, Murray Hill turns every show into a full-throttle cabaret concert comedy spectacle. With retro flair and a wink of mischief\, he works the room seamlessly between storytelling\, crowd work\, and musical moments. It’s loose\, unpredictable\, and alive\, where anything can happen and usually does.  \nWith humor\, heart\, and zero filter\, Murray proves that making it on your own terms is the greatest show of all. Showbiz! \nMURRAY’S VIP PACKAGE: \nIncludes a meet-and-greet\, a photo with him\, hardcopy book of Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man with a personalized book signing\, and a Showbiz! bookmark. \nABOUT MURRAY’S MEMOIR: \nIn his powerful debut memoir Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man (Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books)\, beloved comedian Murray Hill opens up for the first time about how a painful past led to an unwavering commitment to spread joy—one rimshot at a time.  \nMurray on his book: “Let’s just say the world could use a little more heart and a lot more honesty right now. I’ve always believed in chosen family\, resilience\, and a well-timed punchline—this book is all three. It’s not just about where I’ve been\, it’s about how we keep going.”
