Who'd have thought this edgy performer would ever settle down? Yet in his latest monologue, Gray embraces midlife fatherhood, monogamy, and lawn mowing. Following the strained ski metaphors and self-induced traumas of It's a Slippery Slope -- wherein the raconteur detailed how he dumped his new wife after impregnating his girlfriend -- here Gray moves in with said girlfriend and starts to ''play at being the 'family man.''' But since domesticity actually agrees with him, Gray lacks grist for his trademark run-on ruminations -- so he indulges in annoying riffs on ATM machines and Barney. For better or worse, Gray's traded his neurotic Manhattanite shtick for solipsism in the suburbs. C
