Early life

Brennan Lee Mulligan was born on January 4, 1988, in New York [1] as the son of Elaine Lee and Joe Mulligan. He is of Irish descent. [1] He was introduced to the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons by his mother at age nine, [2] first gamemastering at age ten. [3]

Mulligan was introduced to theatrical gaming while attending the Hudson Valley Beltane Festival at age eleven. [4] He started attending The Wayfinder Experience, a live-action role-playing summer camp, [5] spending much of his teenage years working as a lead story writer, performer, and camp counselor there. [3] [6] At age 15, Mulligan and his brother co-founded Bootleg Adventures, organizing one-day live-action role-playing games to introduce children to theatrical gaming. [4] In an interview with the Times-Herald Record , a 16-year-old Mulligan expressed conviction in theatrical gaming's potential to enable "kids [to] come out healthier beings than when they first arrive". [4]

In 2005, at 17 years old, Mulligan graduated from SUNY Ulster with an associate degree, [1] having majored in philosophy and humanities. [3] In 2009, Mulligan graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in screenwriting. [7] [8]

Mulligan and Molly Ostertag co-created the webcomic Strong Female Protagonist , which was named one of io9's Best New and Short Webcomics of 2012. [9] In 2015, Strong Female Protagonist won an Autostraddle Comic and Sequential Art Award. [10]

In 2017, Mulligan joined CollegeHumor as a writer for Um, Actually: The Web Series. [11] In 2018, CollegeHumor's streaming service Dropout launched Um, Actually as a game show, with Mulligan continuing to write for the show until 2020. [12] Mulligan was also a writer for several scripted shows on Dropout, including the Star Wars parody space saga Troopers, [13] and the mockumentary Gods of Food. [14] [15]

In 2023, Mulligan was a writer for Foul Play, an interactive murder mystery series created by Andrew Barth Feldman and Alex Boniello. [16] [17]

Performing

In his twenties, he performed and taught [3] comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB). [6] It was working at the UCB that led Mulligan to working at CollegeHumor, [3] (premiering on December 14, 2017, with Who's the Real Cop?). [18]

Since 2018, [19] Mulligan has been an executive producer, writer, and gamemaster for Dimension 20 on Dropout (which also hosts his video podcast, Adventuring Academy). [2] In his capacity as a professional D&D gamemaster, he has been cited by Bleeding Cool , [20] Comic Book Resources , [21] Wired, [22] and Wizards of the Coast's own Dungeons & Dragons podcastDragon Talk. [3] Glen Weldon, in a review of Dimension 20 for NPR, commented that "Mulligan is such a good DM and he's got so many improv skills. He's such a close and responsive listener that no matter what the players throw at him, he can always roll with it, without breaking the game. And that is a very rare skill, so it's terrific stuff". [23] Mulligan was the Dungeon Master for Exandria Unlimited: Calamity , a weekly, four-part actual play web series spin-off of Critical Role that premiered on May 26, 2022. [24] [25] In January 2023, it was announced that Mulligan, along with Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson, will star in the creator-owned actual play podcast Worlds Beyond Number . [26] [27] The show launched on March 1, 2023 and quickly became one of the top 20 Patreon accounts in the world. [28]

Awards

He has received an "Excellence in Performance Award" from the New York International Fringe Festival, [29] and won a 2019 Webby Award in the "Comedy: Shortform" category for his CollegeHumor skit, Tide CEO: You Gotta Stop Eating Tide Pods. [30]

Personal life

Mulligan is the godson of comics artist and writer Michael Kaluta. [31] In November 2015, Mulligan was a contestant on the American version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and won $50,000 after incorrectly answering the $100,000-question. [32]

By 2020, he lived in Los Angeles. [21] On January 21, 2021, Mulligan announced his engagement to his fiancée, Izzy Roland, via Instagram. [33] They married on April 1, 2023. [34] [35] On January 23, 2024, Brennan announced the birth of his and Roland's first child, a daughter, on the Patreon for the podcast Worlds Beyond Number. [36]
