Comedy Against Evil
Jeff Kreisler's COMEDY AGAINST EVIL is THE forward-thinking, progressive political comedy tour.
A writer for Comedy Central's Indecision2008 and Huffington Post, winner of the Bill Hicks Spirit Award For Thought Provoking Comedy, cast member of Shoot The Messenger (from the creator of The Daily Show), executive editor of My Wall Street Journal, and author of Harper Collins' “Get Rich Cheating” and Funny Money, Kreisler and friends dissect American politics and culture with passion, absurdity, and hope.
COMEDY AGAINST EVIL has performed at the College Democrats National Convention, with the major candidates for President, the Senate, the House, Governorships, and local offices, been featured on Air America, Sirius, and CBS Radio, and made political funny at millions of colleges and clubs, fundraisers for regional caucuses, conventions, festivals, rallies, protests, seminars and more.
In 2004, Bizarro's PolitiComedy A-Go-Go set out to change the world, touring Red, Blue, and Purple states. Five years later, COMEDY AGAINST EVIL will travel anywhere, anytime to support your continuing fight against evil.
COMEDY AGAINST EVIL makes politics awesome.
The Americans
"The Americans" is a live political sitcom that had a tremendously successful debut at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
"The Americans" is a fast-paced, absurd, multimedia sketch comedy show parodying American family, politics, and culture. When money problems hit the once wealthy Americans, the family members scramble to gain control of their crumbling world. Republican dad Sam takes desperate measures to reverse his growing credibility gap. Left-wing mom Libby vows to maintain the household's feng shui. Spoiled daughter Mary chases celebrity while fending off advances from her boyfriend Ira Raq.
What will happen to The Americans?
"Brilliant, cutting satire"
— Lizz Winstead, creator of "The Daily Show"
"A punchy multimedia sketch show parodying US political culture... the irreverence of American Dad and the borderline slapstick of Mr Show, the three Americans don’t just represent the stereotypical US family, they are ciphers for the competing claims on the nation’s future... Daily Show-style satirical... The Americans succeeds in being a colourful and engaging portrait of our stateside cousins."
— Metro
"a laugh-out-loud script"
— BroadwayBaby
"strong performances... an excellent send-up"
— Fest Mag
8 minutes from March 2008

"Jeff Kreisler is a heavy hitter (and) his hour holds some of the smartest political material around. One of the things that makes Kreisler fascinating is his unashamed love for America; he just hates what has been done to it. The final section... may be the most powerful description of the past few years of US history you'll hear... slick, political sharp-shooting..."
