Le$$ons from the Great Cheaters
Got a cheating story? Send it in!
“Hilarious… Kreisler nails the glad-handing “just between us” semi-conspiratorial tone of guru/salesmen such as Tony Robbins… His audience interactions are smooth and he knows how to stick the knife into our guts in the middle of a belly laugh” – Chicago Tribune
“Plenty of polished one-liners and wry observations” – Time Out Chicago
The Cheater Says: What are you waiting for? Just three shows left!
“The 10 Highest-Paid CEOs Who Laid Off The Most Workers”
The Cheater Says: Those weren’t mass layoffs… We were simply lowering the retirement age to “now.”
“A Michael Moore-esque rallying cry… Disturbing & frightening… I’ve never seen anything like it… a really great performer” – Time Out New York
The Cheater Says: I like “disturbing & frightening,” though they left out the most important thing: Rich!
“Somebody get Jeff Kreisler on “The Colbert Report.”… As funny and as
quotable as anything that appears daily on late-night TV. You are
guaranteed a few laugh-out-loud verbal souvenirs to try out on your
friends after the performance.” – New York Times
The Cheater: That Old Grey Lady knows what she’s talking about. Come on over – NYC (Friday night), Chicago (Sept 1-5), San Fran (Sept 10) – and Get Rich Cheating!
“‘The Situation’ to Make $5M This Year”
The Cheater Says: See? You’re all worried because you have neither talent nor intelligence nor dedication nor morals nor ethics. You don’t need any of that the Get Rich Cheating.
“A funny satirical attack on the culture of greed… Kreisler has an amiable stage presence. The material is timely and well-informed… Kreisler brings a standup comic’s sensibility to the role, toying with the audience with a good-natured rib here and there, but always seemingly aiming to please. He’s quick, he’s likeable, and he’s got a good command of the material.” – NYTheatre.com
“Jeff has a formidable intelligence, a robust moral center, and a wicked sense of humor. These combine perfectly to create the ironic social commentary that blazes, nearly undisguised, behind his character’s cherubic grin. Yet at the same time, Get Rich Cheating as a seminar feels disturbingly believable, as if it’s just a hair away from being an actual self-help phenomenon that could be sweeping our helpless nation tomorrow… here is a show that takes a real life truth and translates it through satire, character, and humor.”- AYearOfPlays
The Cheater Says: Heady days. Clemens indicted, Blago acquitted, my seminar reviewed…
“Get Rich Cheating, however, is about as smart as parody shows (and books) come.” – Talking Broadway
“Like all good satire, comedian Jeff Kreisler’s fake wealth-building seminar gets closer to the truth than the putative objects of its scorn.” – Show Showdown
The Cheater Says: These dang reviewers are getting famous off of my seminar! Cheaters! I’m so proud…
Theater Is Easy says this about the wealth-building seminar:
“Truly a show for our times, Jeff Kreisler creates pitch-perfect satire… A great blend of compelling performance elements: it includes laugh-out-loud humor, scathing social critique, a fun premise that literally pulls the audience right into the action, and excellent writing, performing and direction. Definitely a must-see on your Fringe list!”

Info about where to attend the seminar (NYC, Chicago, San Fran) is here.
Get Rich Cheating Live, the wealth-building seminar, opens in NYC tomorrow, Sunday Aug 15 at noon. Details are here.
The Cheater Says: Come get rich!
A just-found old review of the very first time the Get Rich Cheating seminar was offered, on ShowbusinessWeekly.com. It’s gotten much better, much more powerful, since, but, even back then: “timely and hilarious”… “a perfect parody”… “every sentence is witty and thought out”… and “he keeps the audience laughing throughout.”
The Cheater Says: How’d I find it? I Google myself. Actually, I have several lovely assistants Google me. Come learn how to be rich enough to employee sexy, Google-only assistants, as the Get Rich Cheating seminar tours NYC, Chicago, and San Fran. More reviews and details here.
