Mischa Paullin

Mishka Noelle McCortney hails originally from Raritan, New Jersey. Mischa's family moved around a lot before settling down in the small town of Paradise, California. She was raised mostly by whom she calls her "eccentric, mystical mother", although her father, who lived in a van, made some surprise visits over the years. Mischa studied theatre and journalism at Butte College and California State University in Chico but became increasingly eager to get out into the working world. She moved to Los Angeles with her mutt and within a year, Mischa was starring in the feature film "The Survival Games", in which she claims she experienced her first on-screen kiss, which she found discomforting. She has written, produced, and starred in sketches for the girlfriend-boyfriend sketch comedy duo, Dropouts Comedy (2015), composed of herself and writer-actor-producer Lance Paullin, whom she since has married. As Mischa Paullin, she occasionally performs stand-up comedy in Los Angeles and is a writer, producer, and comedian on The Jimmy Dore Show: Live (2012).
