Hey I never posted a thread about this! Anyway, come by tonight - there should be standby tix available. Also, I'm adding one more person to the lineup.

And check out Jon Daly's show afterwards - if you can only make it to UCB one night a week, this is a great chance to see what everyone's been talking about. Plus - it's a special "extended" version that only YOU will see!

This was one of the best CDRs I have ever seen, for real. Super consistent, super awesome, not a dip in quality all night. Top shelf!

As the only CDR that I've ever been to, I don't have much to compare this to, but this was a great show. Fred Armisen was amazing- he had a guitar and did musical impressions that kept us all entertained for a long time. Thomas Lennon was hilarious. I don't know who Rory
Scovel is, but he was hysterical- he did his set in character as this weird Owen Wilson-esque middle school teacher who just kept saying bizarrely inappropriate things.
Joe Mande was also very funny. I'm sure this has probably been commented on here before, but he has a very David Cross-esque style and delivery. I could easily have pictured some of his routines being performed by Cross. Heather Fink was the only performer who fell kind of flat for me- I can see why other people might like her, but she wasn't really my cup of tea. Overall, great show!

On the way out I saw the director Amy Heckerling. That was kind of strange, I wonder what she was doing there. Maybe she's just a comedy fan.

[Berliner]

Brasky, who were you with there? I saw someone I suspect was you for no good reason.

[Itslikeimsayin]

Berliner and Brasky were both at CDR?! What?!

[Berliner]

Hey, Heckerling sat next to me! I didn't know until I looked her up just now. She was stone faced through almost the entire show and seemed to have nodded off during one set, making me fairly uncomfortable. She only became animated during Armisen. Also, I think Harvey Weinstein or someone was there.

[BillBrasky]

Yeah, I think Heckerling was sitting next to some heavy-set guy with a reddish beard. At one point Lennon addressed him and said "I can't believe someone who works for who you work for, or with, is here tonight" But I didn't recognize the guy. It didn't look like Weinstein. Who was he?

[Berliner]

Yeah, I think Heckerling was sitting next to some heavy-set guy with a reddish beard.

I'm just big boned!

[BillBrasky]

Oh, haha, sorry. So I guess he was talking to Heckerling, not to you. I was all the way on the other side of the room and couldn't see well.

[Pleated Jeans]

the guy with the reddish beard was Stuart Cornfeld - producer for Tropic Thunder, among other things.

Oh, and Fred Armisen's fiancee, Elisabeth Moss was also in the audience. Interestingly enough, she's the 3rd castmember from Mad Men I've seen at CDR.

i hope all these famous people decide to show up next week when I'LL be there!.
