Awesome show! Here's a quick recap,

-Hosted by Chelsea Peretti who had Emergency Host cards to jump to if she needed to pump up the crowd.
-Jason Nash talked about Beyond Twisted and parenthood.
-The Jasmine Twins talked and sang about being related and how close they are as siblings.
-Matt Braunger tried out some new material and mixed in some old. Awesome set and great energy as always.
-Ed Helms talked about skunks getting into the crawl space at his house, 7-11 sandwiches and about how a lot of foods are in cock form.
-Sarah Silverman tried out some new stuff as well and helped a couple audience members with some relationship problems.
-Surprise guest Louis CK dropped in and did around 30 minutes which was all excellent material, I'm assuming his new/newer stuff, I hadn't heard any of it before.

An all around great show!

So great to see Two-Headed Dog (Gruber, Mark Fite, Jim Turner, Craig Anton) as part of CDR Sketch!

Louis C.K. is a machine. I've seen him do about 80/90 minutes total from his last three appearances at CDR since the spring and I'm pretty sure he's only repeated a single bit.

With the exception of Gruber from Freaks and Geeks, I had never seen/heard of them before. I really enjoyed the skit. It was totally bizarre and funny on multiple levels. I hope to catch their show at UCB sometime.

(I was the kid who was pulled on stage)

EDIT: Speaking of CDR Sketch, Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer's bits were terrific.

FrankHowley, I was talking to the guys about it after the show and they specifically commented that they thought you were great in their sketch. :-)

If you can make it, you should check them out this Friday at 9:30 at the UCB -- it's a double billing with Kristen Rivers, doing her one-woman show "Sick for Attention," so I'm guessing they'll do about 30 minutes or so. That sketch was just a taste of what the 'Dog puts into their shows. And there's a Facebook fan page if you want to keep up with their schedule.

It was the greatest overall Tuesday night (deathray + sketch) so far in 2009 in my humble opinion.
