The groundbreaking wealth-building seminar is now a touring event!
GET RICH CHEATING LIVE!
In these difficult times, there’s only one proven path to ridiculous amounts of money: Cheating.
There’s been cheating for wealth ever since God created the heavens and Earth in six days, then submitted an invoice for seven. Everyone’s doing it - from sleazy CEOs to juiced-up athletes, silicone-enhanced movie stars, and morally-challenged politicians – why not you?
Based upon his Boston Globe bestseller from HarperCollins, Jeff Kreisler presents Get Rich Cheating, a satirical how-to, exploring the real life scams that have brought the world to its knees, and gotten so many people, so very rich.
Get Rich Cheating is the wealth building seminar, with Kreisler (”goes where other comics fear to tread” -Fest Magazine) as Stephen-Colbert-meets-Tony-Robbins, using the cheating of the day to provide absurd financial advice, encouraging the audience to embrace the cheating techniques he exposes in hilarious detail.
Get Rich Cheating is the definitive guide to the illegal, immoral, and fun, promoting tricks that have proven time and again to generate more cash than God, Google, and the Treasury combined.
More than just a comedian’s take on the state of the world, this is also a thoroughly researched look at contemporary cheating as told through some of its most successful participants.
Laugh at the too-common scams that cause so many problems, understand how they work, and realize that you, too, can Get Rich Cheating!

Recommended in The New Yorker’s “Goings On About Town”
“Reflections so clever, you wonder why they aren’t present in the political discourse. The format – an infomercial cum self-help seminar based around Kreisler’s new book – is equally original and engaging… Kreisler should be playing to bigger audiences.” - Fest Magazine
“A hilarious, recession-proof tutorial on how to get rich without regard for morals or other mortals” - Flavorpill
“I could not imagine learning more while having so much fun” - Dan Ariely, Professor at Duke University, Fuqua Graduate School of Business and author of “Predictably Irrational”
“Biting, funny, and sadly, all too true” - The Epoch Times
“Witty political references and laugh-out-loud observations that might just help you chuckle away the credit-crunch blues.” - Three Weeks
“Get Rich Cheating sees Jeff Kreisler run a fake motivational seminar in such a way that you wonder if you’re going to leave the room as a member of a cult – or, depending on the nature of the cult, wondering if you’re going to leave at all.” - All The Festivals
“Kreisler’s spiritual progenitor is Bernie Madoff and the grubby screw-you style of US capitalism… An easy listen, and in spite of himself, charming… a mellifluous voice, a slick PowerPoint presentation and I will be placing an order for that book.” - The Scotsman
Jeff Kreisler (Bill Hicks Spirit Award, Comedy Central’s Indecision2008, MSNBC, Showbiz Tonight, Independent Film Channel, CBC, BBC, Shoot The Messenger, My Wall Street Journal, TheStreet.com, The Americans, Glasgow, Edinburgh Fringe & San Francisco Comedy Festivals, Huffington Post) attacks politics, culture, and life with passion, absurdity, and hope.
About the book:
“You’ll be laughing all the way to the bank, assuming other cheaters haven’t forced it into bankruptcy yet.” - Rachel Maddow (MSNBC)
“Catcher in the Rye for evildoers” - Penthouse Magazine
“Laugh out loud - roaring!” - CNBC
“A very funny book with a very timely message” - Terry Jones (Monty Python)
“A brilliant and brilliantly sustained satirical broadside. On just about every page, you’ll find a pithy, pointed barb worthy of the late great George Carlin” - Tony Hendra (George Carlin’s “Last Words”)
“This is THE book to read on the unemployment line” - Lizz Winstead (Co-creator of The Daily Show)
“Is (it) a humor book, prescient, or a Wall Street / Washington user’s manual? It is all three… Kreisler is that funny” - The Reviews Page
“One can easily envision Jeff Kreisler as a guest on The Colbert Report… He’s funny, he has mad political criticism skills and, as his new book reveals, he’s shrewdly corrupt” - TheQNote.com
“Taking the liars and manipulators in politics to task, as well as sports and pop culture figures, and presenting the facts as a satirical guide that’s part infomercial, part indictment. Like his act, it’s as smart and funny as it is independent and direct in its message.” - The Comedians
“Ever wonder what it’s like inside the mind of a genius? Well, now you can take a peek… In the God-is-Dead tradition of Nietzsche, Kreisler is superman.” - Miami Examiner
