Paul Calf began as a character named 'Duncan Disorderly' in Coogan's early stand-up routines. Calf first came to wider public notice in 1993, with several appearances on ''[[Saturday Zoo]]'', a late-night variety show presented by [[Jonathan Ross]] on Channel 4. Paul has appeared in two video diaries, an episode of ''[[Coogan's Run]]'', and in various stand-up performances. He is an unemployed Mancunian wastrel with a particular hatred of students. His catchphrase, spoken to disparage something or someone, is "Bag o' [[shit]]e". Paul lives in a [[council house]] in the fictional town of Ottle with his mother and his sister, Pauline Calf (also played by Coogan). His father, Pete Calf (played by Coogan in ''Coogan's Run'') died some time before the first video diary was made. For a long time he was obsessed with getting back together with his ex-girlfriend, Julie. Paul's best friend is "Fat" Bob (played by John Thomson), a car mechanic who eventually married Pauline. Paul supports [[Manchester City]] and is very partial to [[Wagon Wheels]]. He wears [[Burton (clothing)|Burton]] suits, sports a bleached [[Mullet (haircut)|mullet]] hairstyle, and drives a [[Ford Cortina]]. ''[[Pauline Calf's Wedding Video]]'' won the 1995 [[BAFTA Television Award]] for Best Comedy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://awards.bafta.org/award/1995/television|title=Television in 1995 &#124; BAFTA Awards|website=awards.bafta.org}}</ref>

Duncan Thicket has appeared in a tour of live shows. Coogan, along with his writing partner [[Henry Normal]], founded [[Baby Cow Productions]] in 1999. Together, they have served as executive producers for shows such as ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'', ''[[Nighty Night]]'', ''[[Marion and Geoff]]'', ''[[Gavin & Stacey]]'', ''[[Human Remains (TV series)|Human Remains]]'' and ''[[Moone Boy]]'', as well as the [[Alan Partridge]] feature film ''[[Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa]]''.

The first film that Coogan co-wrote with [[Henry Normal]] was ''[[The Parole Officer]]'', in which he also acted alongside Ben Miller and [[Lena Headey]].

Mulcaire was forced by the [[High Court of Justice]] to disclose to Coogan's legal team who amongst the staff at the ''[[News of the World]]'' ordered him to hack phones. This information was obtained by Coogan's lawyers on 26 August 2011.<ref name=Chandrasekhar-10-11-2011>{{cite news |last=Chandrasekhar |first=Indu |title=Phone hacking: timeline of the scandal |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8634176/Phone-hacking-timeline-of-a-scandal.html#2011 |access-date=24 November 2011 |date=10 November 2011 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London}}</ref> Interviewed on ''[[Newsnight]]'' on 8 July 2011, Coogan said he was "delighted" by the closure of the ''News of the World'' and said it was a "fantastic day for journalism".

Coogan provided an eight-page witness statement to the [[Leveson Inquiry]], and appeared at the inquiry on 22 November 2011 to discuss the evidence.<ref name="Leveson statement-23-11-2011"/> He said he was there reluctantly representing a lot of celebrities who felt they could not speak out for fear of reprisals from the tabloid press.<ref>{{cite news |title='This is not the Steve Coogan and Hugh Grant show' |url=https://www.theweek.co.uk/people-news/leveson-inquiry/42898/not-steve-coogan-and-hugh-grant-show |access-date=24 November 2011 |newspaper=The Week |date=22 November 2011}}</ref>

In March 2021, Coogan said "the tabloid press is controlled by a handful of tax shy billionaires with an agenda. Anyone who stands up to the press is attacked by them because they're bullies." He added "the fact that [[Meghan Markle]] and [[Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex|Harry]] were attacked has nothing to do with jet-setting hypocrisy. It's because they broke the golden rule, which is to leave us alone and we'll go easy on you next time."<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/steve-coogan-piers-morgan-harry-meghan-b1815668.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/steve-coogan-piers-morgan-harry-meghan-b1815668.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live | title= Steve Coogan calls Piers Morgan 'symptomatic' of everything that's wrong with UK media | work=The Independent | first=Stuti | last=Mishra | date=11 March 2021 | access-date=10 May 2021}}</ref>
