Back by popular demand, and 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 - now outdoors in the front yard!

This will be a series of comedy nights: Wednesday, September 22nd, Tuesday, October 19th, and a forthcoming date in November. All shows begin at 7:30pm.
