He has performed alongside Eddie Izzard, Tony Hawks, Dawn French, Nick Hancock, and Eric Sykes, and has played a significant role in the development of theater improvisation.

Mullarkey co-founded The Comedy Store Players, an improvisational troupe established at London's Comedy Store with Mike Myers, later joined by Paul Merton. The group holds a Guinness World Record for the longest-running improvisational show and has performed weekly for more than four decades. Mullarkey has appeared in productions such as "Then Again" with Dawn French and Sheila Hancock, "Charley's Aunt" with Eric Sykes and Christopher Biggins, and "Ugly Rumours."

The companion book, "Don't Be Needy Be Succeedy: The A to Z of Motivitality," was published by Profile Books.

Mullarkey applies his improv and communication expertise to transform the creative and collaborative capabilities of teams and leaders. He developed the LASER approach, a five-pillar method based on improvisational skills, used to instill new ways of thinking for leaders and organizations across various sectors.

His client list includes Barclays Capital, Google, Deloitte, GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, Vodafone, the NHS, Saatchi & Saatchi, and WPP, bringing improvisation, communication, and innovation to corporate environments.
