"The smartest political material around" - The Scotsman"It's the possibility that exposing a little bit of hypocrisy will keep people engaged that keeps Kreisler and other politically and socially motivated comics going" - Boston Globe"Great stuff. Very Funny." - U.S. Senator Tom Harkin"Kreisler's hilarious insights into society's foibles combined with his intelligence, knack for humor, & genial spirits made for an excellent hour of political humor... The intermediary comedic glue that has the power to unite political fronts across social spheres." - BC Observer"It's a great time to see an American political comic, and you'll struggle to find better than Jeff Kreisler. With slick and witty poise he mixes wry observation on current affairs with quirky bouts of surrealism." - Three Weeks "Pitch-perfect satire" - Theater Is Easy"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
