“I leave it to my audience: If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?”
– Abraham Lincoln, 1858

Drawing inspiration from Abraham Lincoln’s legendary humor and self-deprecation, President Lincoln’s Cottage and The DC Improv are again partnering to present Two Faces Comedy, the first comedy series to transform Lincoln’s living room into a comedy den! Each show is meant to be inspired by some aspect, silly or serious, of Lincoln’s legacy or the history of the Cottage.

This will be a series of comedy nights, beginning on September 24 and ending on December 15. Doors open at 7pm, all shows begin at 7:30pm.

Ticketing Info:

• $15 per show


• $12.50 per show for Team Lincoln members


• Soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and snacks available for purchase.

September 24: Immigration
The September show revisits the theme from the first ever Two Faces show in 2016: Immigration. Lincoln was a staunch advocate of immigration, and every comic on this lineup is either an immigrant or comes from an immigrant family.

• Featuring: Rahmein Mostafavi, Dee Ahmed, Justin Um, Benny Nwokeabia

October 7: The Washington Roast: Political Brawling
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.

• Hosted by Tim Kardashian

November 4: Veterans
The November show has the theme of “veterans.” Lincoln was surrounded by soldiers and veterans at the Cottage, and this lineup is all stand-ups who have served in the military.

• Featuring: Dewayne White, Tim Miller, Monica Daly, Dave McOwen, Haywood Turnipseed

December 15: Prisons and Justice
December’s theme is “incarceration,” tying in with the new exhibit at Lincoln’s Cottage, “Prisons Reimagined: America at 250.” Each comic will share how incarceration affected their life.

• Featuring: Anthony Oakes, Apple Brown Betty, Patrice DeVeaux, Matt Brown
