A writer for Comedy
Central's Indecision2008 and winner of
the Bill
Hicks Spirit Award for Thought Provoking Comedy,
Jeff Kreisler has his own critically-acclaimed political comedy
tour (Comedy
Against Evil), syndicated business humor
column and video (Funny
Money), and a sweet book deal with Harper Collins to
write the satire Get Rich Cheating. He recently performed
with the major US Presidential candidates, is in the staff and cast
of the new show from the creator of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
(Shoot
The Messenger), had a 5-star show at the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival, and was just invited to the Glasgow
International Comedy Fest. He went to
Princeton, Exeter, and Virginia Law School, has performed on TV
and radio networks, was an all-league football player, taught English
in Russia, started a non-profit dedicated to at-risk youth, plays
mediocre blues on the alto sax, lives in New York City, misses San
Francisco, Boston, and D.C., and, most of all, loves asparagus.
"A welcome reminder of a time when comedy cut
a lot closer to the issues of the day than most comics now dare."
- Dallas Morning News
"Kreisler tore into politics, race and religion
in a similar style to Hicks, but with his own personal slant and
some very acute and funny observations. This is one show that will
have you laughing from start to finish and is probably one of the
best comedy shows at the Fringe..." - Fresh Air at the Festival
"A capacity audience laughed throughout an hour
of excellent comedy... Jeff Kreisler does clever, well-presented
political stuff..." - The Scotsman
"The highlight of this all-American evening
was final act Kreisler, who, with slow, dry rigour, pulled apart
America..." - Three Weeks
"Dark eyes that promise all manner of chaos...
Kreisler changes the pace a bit with a slightly demented, extremely
animated set that attacks everything..." - San Francisco Chronicle
"A highlight." - The New York Times
