Neil Mullarkey is a British actor, writer, and comedian.

At Cambridge, Mullarkey was Junior Treasurer to Footlights in the academic year 1981 to 1982 and was president in that ending 1983. Mullarkey formed Hancock & Mullarkey with Nick Hancock at Cambridge, performing their act (which consisted of spoofing television shows' title sequences to that show's accompanying theme music) several times on television. This included Doctor Who, Kojak, and Dad's Army.

In the early 1980s, he teamed up with Mike Myers as 'Mullarkey and Myers'. They would perform sketches based on their shared love of cartoons, B-movies and bad TV. They played around the burgeoning London pub circuit, particularly at the George IV in Chiswick, where they often shared the bill with the young Hugh Grant, then plying his trade in the Jockeys Of Norfolk review. As their fame increased, Mullarkey and Myers toured the UK, ending in a sold-out season at the Edinburgh Festival. Mike eventually returned to Toronto, but Mullarkey would briefly join him to revive the show in Canada. Later still, he appeared in Myers' Austin Powers debut, as the Customs Officer who freaks Austin out with his penis enlarger (he also appeared in Mike's So I Married an Axe Murderer, and again in Goldmember).

Mullarkey has since developed a performance career in theatre, television, cinema and radio.

Mullarkey runs management workshops and hosts conferences for private and public organisations. In the Mullarkey Workshop he uses the techniques of theatre improvisation to inspire business people to embrace their creativity and enhance their communication skills.

Met close friend Mike Myers (I) when they were both members of the English comedy group The Comedy Store Players.
