“Since Comedy Death Ray is the Olympics of the alternative comedy world, it was a dream come true when my residency was accepted. I’m neither deluded nor vain enough to consider myself the Michael Phelps. I will not compare my ten nights of comedy to Phelps striving for nine golds. I am not the Phelps, I am the Kerri Strug. I just want one gold night, and I will give it everything I got to get it. Even if I bomb the first eight Tuesdays, I will limp to stage, only standing on one bit, I will perform that bit with all my heart, not just for the comedy nerds in the CDR audience, but also for the comedy nerds in the middle of America. These nine sets are for pimply-faced anti-social arm-pit-smelling comedy nerds in the middle of America.
UCBcomedy.com in conjunction with CDR will tape these sets and put them up within the same week on www.UCBcomedy.com
