RUMOR: Mitch Mullany dead
The following blog entry appeared on comedian Butch Bradley‘s MySpace profile:
If you haven’t heard the sad news we have lost a dear friend and a great comic! Mitch Mullany has passed away. A sad sad loss for any and all that have ever had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a great friend and a stand-up killer! I watched Mitch put panic on the faces of some of the best comics out. He could make anyone laugh he was and is a comics favorite comic! My thoughts and prayers are with his family!
See you on the Big Stage my friend,
Butch Bradley
We placed a phone call to Mullany’s management, Principato-Young Entertainment in Los Angeles and they confirmed that they still managed Mullany, but when asked if they could confirm his death, the person who answered said that they “couldn’t comment.”

I can confirm that Mitch Mullany passed away last week. Details of his cause of death are not confirmed, but preliminary report suggests complications due to diabetes. Mitch’s family has been in Los Angeles handling his affairs. Tentatively a memorial is scheduled for mid-June in the Bay Area (his hometown). More information to follow.The family has been sincerely touched by all the outpouring from his friends.Sincerely,Jeanette Mullany-Stipanovich (cousin)
Our deepest condolences to the Mullany family. Specially Matthew, sincerely from our hearts. Your friends Lillian and Carlos Bryson.Walnut Creek, Ca
Loved his show Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher when it aired in Australia. I was hoping he would be touring Down Under. Such a incredible talent and such a shocking loss of a terrific comedian.Kind regards,Barry Dominey, Jr.
