Paul McCarthy is an Australian comedy actor born in Melbourne in 1967. He began performing professionally while attending Melbourne University, touring Australia with revue show "Laminex On The Rocks" which also starred Mick Molloy, Jason Stephens and Andrew Maj. McCarthy appeared on stand-up comedy stages in Melbourne during the late eighties and through the nineties and was a regular participant in the annual Melbourne International Comedy Festival before finding his way onto television. He is best known for starring in the highly successful sketch comedy television series "Comedy Inc." (or Comedy Inc - The Late Shift as it has become known in its later series). McCarthy was, along with Comedy Inc. co-star Genevieve Morris a 2006 Australian Film Institute Awards nominee for Best Performance in a Television Comedy. The show itself has received seven AFI nominations in all, together with one Logie Award nomination in 2006 for Outstanding Television Comedy Series, and one 2006 Rose D'Or Award for Best International Comedy Series. At the Logie Awards of 2007 he performed the opening section as David Koch, a role he frequently portrayed in Comedy Inc.
He also starred in Totally Full Frontal, a late 1990s television sketch comedy show, as well as in the hit Mick Molloy comedy "Crackerjack". He has received two Green Room Awards for his contributions to live cabaret and his (co-devised) work "Cliff Hanger In Catch A Falling Star" was awarded Best Cabaret Show at Melbourne Fringe 2002.
