Continuing to hone his craft he toured nationally, opening for comedians such as Hannibal Buress, Jim Norton and Dana Gould. In 2010 he won Best of Fest for the Laugh Detroit festival. In 2012 he was named one of the New Faces Unrepped at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal. Mullen found popularity in the realm of podcasts, appearing as a guest on "Race Wars" (2013-21), and "Real Ass Podcast" (2019-).
