“A highlight” – New York Times

“Up next was Kreisler with his special brand of political and social humour. It’s easy to see why he won the inaugural (sic) ‘Bill Hicks Spirit Award For Thought-Provoking Comedy’; he tore into politics, race and religion in a similar style to Hicks, but with his own personal slant and some very acute and funny observations. This is one show that will have you laughing from start to finish and is probably one of the best comedy shows at the Fringe…” - * * * * * Fresh Air

“Jeff Kreisler and his Comedy Against Evil show were amazing. Jeff’s act was thought provoking, edgy, and quite hilarious. We’re definitely asking him back next year because he had all of us on the floor laughing for an entire hour.” - Georgetown University
