Spotlight: Enjoy a comedy show at one of DC's coolest historic homes! The Two Faces comedy series started several years ago, bringing live entertainment to Abraham Lincoln's favorite retreat. The October show has the theme of "political brawling," since Abe Lincoln was no stranger to partisan politics. The cast from The Washington Roast will present a special show where presidents from history take center stage -- and insult each other for our amusement.

Featuring: The Washington Roast

 

About the Comics

The Constituents

“The show was built for people looking to disconnect, get offline, and share some laughs over the absurdity of the hyper-polarized realities of living in America” says Tim Kardashian, the show’s creator and host.

“After our very first show in DC, a lobbyist in the audience approached me and said ‘This is the tonic this city needs.’ I’ve never looked back after that moment.”

After creating a cult following in DC and receiving media praise the show has expanded to new markets including Broadway. Lauded by liberal and conservative audiences alike the cast has succeeded in creating a rare nonpartisan space for laughter.

 
Lincoln

President Lincoln’s Cottage (official website) is an historic site and museum located in the Petworth neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C. President Lincoln’s Cottage first opened to the public in February 2008. It is the only place the public can experience the history of Abraham Lincoln’s public and private life where he lived and worked for over a quarter of his presidency.

While in residence at the Cottage, Lincoln visited with wounded soldiers, spent time with self-emancipated men, women and children, and developed the Emancipation Proclamation. The human cost of the Civil War surrounded him, undoubtedly impacted his thinking, and strengthened his resolve to challenge the status quo. Through innovative guided tours, exhibits and programs, we use Lincoln’s example to inspire visitors to take their own path to greatness, and preserve this place as an authentic, tangible connection to the past and a beacon of hope for all who take up Lincoln’s unfinished work.
