Read moreEntertainment Diet: '50 Shades! The Parody's' Paul Mattingly
He has to consume a lot of pop culture to know what he's talking about on three podcasts: "Matt and Mattingly's Ice Cream Social" on heyscoops.com, the audio/video "Ugly Couch Show" and companion audio "Geek Shock," which recently celebrated 80,000 downloads in its eight-year existence. But those are just his side projects. As an actor, Mattingly is currently revealing more of himself than some may want to see as Christian Grey in "50 Shades! The Parody," a musical spoof taking down the noxious best-seller, recently relaunched in the Windows Showroom at Bally's. Like the spoof's creators, Mattingly comes to the project from an improv background; years ago he shuffled between The Second City at the Flamingo and the Las Vegas Hilton's "Star Trek" attraction, where he spoke fluent Klingon. "The Bucket Show," his two-man improv project with Matt Donnelly, still runs every Wednesday at 10 p.m. in the Art Square Theatre, 1025 S. First St.
