Paul was born and raised as a sports fanatic in the tiny town of Owego, in upstate New York. After four years of playing college basketball, somehow he graduated. Aside from playing in the NBA, his dream job was to talk about sports for a living. Paul then moved to California after landing a television sports anchor job with ABC, but found out quickly that he was "too much of a smart-ass" for TV news. After he was fired, Paul took his unique sense of humor to comedy club stages all over the country.

In 2005, Paul was selected to perform at the HBO Comedy Festival in Las Vegas. Morrissey has also been a finalist in several national comedy competitions including Wendy's Comedy Challenge, Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight and Maxim's Real Men of Comedy.

Morrissey's big break was when he made his network television debut on "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson" on CBS. He was so well received that Paul was asked to make three more appearances, most recent was in January 2009. The recent TV exposure has put Paul in high demand as a headliner at clubs and colleges across the US and Canada. Paul's original delivery and unique point of view has made him one of the names to watch in the LA comedy scene.
