WE ARE MOVING EVERYTHING OVER TO TUMBLR! GO HERE TO GET UP TO DATE LINEUPS, ETC.
Comedy Death-Ray originated in 2002 and is the brainchild of performers / creators The Fun Bunch -- Scott Aukerman & BJ Porter (Mr. Show). It's a unique mix of stand-up comedy, characters & sketch that brought a sense of fun back to Los Angeles' alternative comedy scene. CDR is the place to see today's comedy greats (Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswalt, Louis CK, David Cross, Fred Armisen, etc.) and tomorrow's innovators play in an ever-changing "anything can happen" environment!
EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT @ 8:30pm!
New Zach Galifianakis / Jon Hamm video up on funny or die!
Hey everyone! Our CDR videos from Super Deluxe are now online! Watch Brody Stevens grill Zach Galifianakis, Patton Oswalt and David Cross!
CDR had an article written about it in Esquire! Pick up the December 2006 ish for an article about the author's quest to find the perfect joke. Guess where he ends up!

Thanks for joining the congregation! Way to KEEP IT POSITIVE! (brody mantra 1) by joining the WORLD*S FIRST MYSPACE FAITH!!
Remember that YOU are now in on the ground floor of THE MOST EXCITING THING IN RELIGION/PHILOSOPHY/SELF-HELP... so ENJOY IT! (brody mantra 2)
WHERE'D YOU GO TO HIGH SCHOOL? (an important question the Reluctant Prophet asks each and every one of us to MAKE CONNECTIONS!)
Here's an easy reference cheat sheet for your BRODY MANTRAS:
Brody Mantra 1: KEEP IT POSITIVE! Brody Mantra 2: ENJOY IT! Brody Mantra 3: I KNOW PEOPLE! (PEOPLE KNOW ME!) Brody Mantra 4: CELEBRITIES GET ME! Brody Mantra 5: I GET IT!! Brody Mantra 6: I’M MAKING CONNECTIONS! (I’M CONNECTING!) Brody Mantra 7: I KNOW COMEDY!!!
And you clearly GET IT! now too, since you've join the CHURCH OF BRODY -- the only religion with an 88 mile per hour fastball!!
Yours in Brody, THE CHURCH OF BRODY
(PS – When you are speaking to the Church of Brody – you are *NOT* speaking to BRODY STEVENS. The Church of Brody is just like any other church, in that if you want to speak directly to the “Man Upstairs”, then you can do that directly, on your own, without the need of some silly church or “holy man” to give you the hook-up. REPEAT: WE ARE NOT BRODY STEVENS… we are just the religion based on his ways and wisdom)
I think you should start bottling CDR and selling it over the counter, but only to those who show you their ID, kind of like Claritin-D. They make you do that because you can make crytal meth out of Claritin-D, but you can't do that if you have an ID, I guess. Anyways, I was kind of interested in what I could make out of CDR, I bet you it would be like PCP or something cool like that.
