About Moody McCarthy:

Moody McCarthy is a stand-up comedian who has made numerous television appearances, highlighted by performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, and two scintillating sets on The Late Show with David Letterman.

McCarthy was born “Matthew” in Syracuse, New York, into a boisterous household with six siblings. He began doing comedy in 1992 after his music and busboy careers stalled. McCarthy soon distinguished himself as an original and was hired by a Syracuse radio show to cover sports and write jokes. After six years of performing regionally, McCarthy decided his apartment was too big and moved to New York City, where he currently resides with his wife, daughter and step-dog.

The comedian has been featured on Last Comic Standing, the 2003 reboot of Star Search, America’s Got Talent and Gotham Comedy Live. McCarthy is also a regular at some of the best clubs, including Dangerfields, Gotham, Comic Strip Live, Eastville and Syracuse Funny Bone, and has performed on three continents.

McCarthy’s material is described as smart and universal without being trite. Couple that with a disarming stage presence and in-the-moment chops, fans will see why he has earned the admiration of his peers for his ability to “go up cold” and turn any setting into a lively comedy room.
