by the Hicks family. Jeff writes for Comedy Central's Indecision2008,
has a syndicated business humor column and video, Funny Money,
via Jim Cramer's TheStreet.com, is author of the forthcoming Harper

Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He's the star of the critically-acclaimed
Comedy Against Evil tour and recently performed with Hillary Clinton,

"Up
next was Kreisler with his special brand of political and social
humour. ItŐs easy to see why he won the inaugural (sic) 'Bill
Hicks Spirit Award For Thought-Provoking Comedy'; he 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

Comedy Festivals. He's performed at billions of colleges and millions
of clubs, and has made the funny with headliners and legends like
Dick Gregory and Robin Williams. He also showcased at the 2007
NACA National Convention.
"Dark
eyes that promise all manner of chaos... Kreisler changes the
pace with a slightly demented, extremely animated set that attacks
everything... The other comics crane their necks to see the fireworks,
grinning broadly." - San Francisco Chronicle
His absurdist comedy act is a blend of commentary,
social insight, and unpredictable weirdness that focuses self-deprecating,
theatrical, hilarious rage on the erosion of democracy and the
future of our culture. He is passionate, energetic, magnetic,
opinionated, and, above all, extremely funny.
"A
highlight "
- The New York Times
Jeff's appeared on CBS, Air America, and Sirius
Radio networks, moderates "Democracy In Crisis" on Queens TV,
has written for George Carlin's Laugh.com, Reader's Digest, Jest,
and television and movie production companies, and has done everything
from warm-up for the Discovery Channel, to hosting pilot dating
shows, to corporate and private gigs across the country.
"Jeff
Kreisler and his Comedy Against Evil show were amazing. Jeff's
act was thought provoking, edgy, and quite hilarious. We're definitely
asking him back next year because he had all of us on the floor
laughing for an entire hour." - Georgetown University
Jeff Kreisler plays blues saxophone, speaks French
and Russian, broadcast sports, played college football, taught
English in Russia, started a non-profit dedicated to at-risk youth,
