Mike Doughty took the stage at the 9:30 club Saturday night in a black T-shirt and a black jacket. He was dressed like a small-time label owner, a businessman. His tattoos were covered and his mannerisms were reserved.

Woolly Mammoth Theatre's new main-stage production, "Stunning," by David Adjmi, takes on serious issues of tradition versus modernity with breathtaking success. True to Woolly's typical fare, "Stunning" brings comedy to the forefront of modern drama.

Mike Doughty, indie pop artist formally of Soul Coughing, recently released his second major solo record, "Golden Delicious," to solid reviews. It's a free-wheeling follow-up to 2005's "Haughty Melodic." Immediately following the release, he started his own micro-label, appropriately called Snack Bar. He also deejays a show called Dubious Luxury at The Knitting Factory, a popular New York City club. In short, he's got his hands in a lot of pies.
