Spotlight on Content Creator “Dude Dad”
Taylor Calmus, the Colorado-based comedian and content creator better known as Dude Dad to his millions of followers, is the most popular guy in his neighborhood—and not just because of his widely watched comedy skits about parenthood, marriage, and life in Colorado. Sometimes, life imitates art for Calmus, who has a knack for finding that fine line between dad jokes and fatherly wisdom. Take, for example, his children’s book, Dad and the Recycling-Bin Roller Coaster, about a loving father’s over-the-top DIY project to build his kids the best day ever. “When my kids saw the book, they felt cheated, so I had to build a backyard roller coaster for them,” Calmus tells me over coffee and animal crackers on a rainy morning this spring. “Now it is even permitted by the city, and all the neighborhood kids come over to ride it.” I met Calmus, his wife Heidi, and their four children at the family’s Fort Collins home for a chat about Dude Dad’s funny family guy persona, creative process, and transplant stereotypes. Here’s what he had to say.
