Man Versus Child: Big Baby Day, or Into the Mind... →
manvchild: Every year around this time I get sick! So it was again this year, with the added bonus of my daughter being sick too. So we were both home for a few days. In my dream sick day, I get to act like a big baby. Everybody leaves me alone with Chicken Noodle Soup or a Chicken Parmesan Hero or…

Man Versus Child: HAW TO LRN TWO RT →
manvchild: Do you remember learning to write? I don’t. Yes, har dee har I still don’t know how to write. You got me. My daughter is in kindergarten right now and she is learning to write. The spelling isn’t correct, the grammar challenged, but you can really understand a lot of what she writes now.

Brooklyn Paper profile on me! →
manvchild: The Brooklyn Paper did a little article on me and on my show Doug Moe is a Bad Dad.  It’s a really nice profile and a funny distillation of a twenty minute conversation. I think Kate did a very good job actually of making sense in a short article of my weird references to improv theory, scrawny dogs and taxi drivers. I’m not entirely sure that I am “milking” the UCB Theatre (are they...

Man Versus Child: Giant Coloring Book at UCB →
manvchild: People have been asking me about my window at the UCB Theatre in NYC. Yes, it IS a giant coloring book. A couple of weeks ago, I got permission to dress the UCB Theatre window to promote Doug Moe is a Bad Dad (this Wednesday at UCB NY: please come!). I was just about to leave for LA to…

Man Versus Child: Mayor of Simpleton →
manvchild: While I’m on an App Kick, let me put in another plug for an underutilized parenting tool: Foursquare. As you may know, this app is for “checking in” at various locations around town. You can see where your friends have checked in and it’s all a contest to earn points. It can do a lot…

Man Versus Child: Leave SpongeBob Alone! →
manvchild: People can’t seem to leave Spongebob alone! What is it about this friendly doofus that makes people so threatened? He’s juvenile. He’s gross! He’s gay? This time Spongebob is in hot (salt) water because of a study “suggesting that watching just nine minutes of that program can cause…

Man Versus Child: The Dapper Banana →

Man Versus Child: Never Mind the Bollocks →

Perhaps it is because Facebook thinks that all of my Top News should be pictures of weddings I wasn’t invited to. In any case, this study concluded…

I'm still a Bad Dad in September
I have two shows in September:  9/7 and 9/14 at 8pm.  It’s like a Creep reunion month for me:  one show with Ryan Karels, the other with Jeff Hiller (and Amy Heidt).   Please come see this show!  I’m really proud of it. Reservations here!

Improv Nonsense: Better Conversations →
improvnonsense: Improv can make you funnier, will likely make you a better actor, and could maybe even get you work. But one thing it will definitely do is make you better at having conversations. You listen better, you speak to the heart of the matter more, you lie less, you speak more concisely. But also, you… First of all:  is re-blogging a form of self-promotion?  I hope so. ...

Man Versus Child: London's Burning! →
manvchild: The simmering tensions barely below the surface have boiled over, spilling hot resentment grease all over the London city kitchen floor and then an old lady rushes in and falls in a comedic way. Sorry, I lost my metaphor. The point is that London seems so NICE – but under the surface there…

Man Versus Child: I am a Bad Dad →
manvchild: One of the reasons/excuses I have for not writing on this blog as much as I’d like to be has been that I have been busting my ass on a new stage show. I’m super-proud of this show and it’s going to debut on the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre stage next Friday at 7:30pm. It’s called Doug…

Panthy's Garden: Spotlight Status! →
panthysgarden: Stop the internet presses. Stop. The. Internet. Presses. The editors over at Tumblr have picked Panthy’s Garden as a spotlight blog (in the Nature category). By doing this they’re saying that if you’re into nature, this is your kind of motherlovin’ blog. If you’re not, you had better head… Whooop whooop!  My brother’s blog is spotlighted!

manvchild: I’m a dad. I have a five year-old. That means that if you ask me about sleep schedules, I won’t be able to tell you anything. I will say, “Yeah, I remember that…” right before I say “I don’t really remember.” In my brain, without a Google-aided bit of research, I would say that: Babies…
