What they’re saying about Get Rich Cheating:
"Just by reading this book you'll earn an asterisk next to your name. You'll be laughing all the way to the bank, assuming other cheaters haven't forced it into bankruptcy yet."
— Rachel Maddow (MSNBC)
"A very funny book with a very timely message."
— Terry Jones (Monty Python)
"Thank God for Jeff Kreisler. He has given us a book that offers a much needed sucker punch to the greedsters who, well, get rich cheating. This is THE book to read in the unemployment line."
— Lizz Winstead (Co-creator of The Daily Show)
"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 (National Lampoon, Father Joe, Spinal Tap)
Penthouse Magazine: "Catcher in the Rye for evildoers"
CNBC.com Bullish On Books: "Laugh out loud - roaring!"
The Reviews Page: "Is (it) a humor book, prescient, or a Wall Street / Washington user’s manual? It is all three... Kreisler is that funny."
Midwest Book Review: "Take a healthy dose of humor and blend it with some business savvy and observations of questionable practices and you have GET RICH CHEATING... a hilarious, pointed observation of business. - Five Stars
LettersOnPages: "A really funny, and really sarcastic, tutorial on how to make money the easy way: illegally! ... It is very witty and very biting."
TheQNote: "One can easily envision Jeff Kreisler as a guest on The Colbert Report... Why? He’s funny, he has mad political criticism skills and, as his new book reveals, he’s shrewdly corrupt."
The Serious Comedy Site: "I loooove Get Rich Cheating. When do I get my kickback?... A great airport / summer vacation read.”
The Comedians: "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."
UVA Lawyer: "A humorous, tongue-in-cheek guide to getting what isn’t ours (but sometimes seems as if it ought to be). He dedicates his book, 'To money, the root of all good,' and throughout he gently pokes and prods readers to stop daydreaming about a life of luxury and go out and grab it — to boldly go where upright, ethical people would never dare. Kreisler’s thoroughly researched guide presents the stories of famous and not-so-famous cheaters and what we can learn from them."
Miami Examiner: "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."

Reviews of Get Rich Cheating Live:
Flavorpill: "A hilarious, recession-proof tutorial on how to get rich without regard for morals or other mortals"
Fest: "Jeff Kreisler goes where other comics fear to tread... Kreisler’s set bristles with ironic barbs, the best of which induce as much anger as mirth – a zest missing from (other) shows... Kreisler's keen intellect sees to it that tired subjects are rendered shocking and original. 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... A slickly delivered, well thought-out set – Kreisler should be playing to bigger audiences."
The Epoch Times: "Biting, funny, and sadly, all too true"
Three Weeks: "Witty political references and laugh-out-loud observations that might just help you chuckle away the credit-crunch blues."
All The Festivals:
"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..."
The Scotsman:
"Some stand-ups almost elide criticism and that’s essentially the case for Jeff Kreisler’s Get Rich Cheating, his snake oil salesman’s patter so breezily relentless that I doubt he even registers non-believers. Although he describes his look as George Clooney with a hint of Pete Sampras, 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... he does have a mellifluous voice, a slick PowerPoint presentation and I will be placing an order for that book."
