-- Abraham Lincoln during the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates after being accused of "two-faced" politics by Stephen Douglas
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.
The theme for the October night is mental health, based on Lincoln's own dealings with depression. Each of our performers will incorporate that theme into their sets, however they choose. Save the date for our third and final night, November 14.
Performers:
* Pearl Rose (Emcee) is a Washington, DC-based comedian. Originally from Minnesota, Pearl is a regular host at DC comedy clubs, opening for national headliners such as Joe List, Carmen Lynch, and Jon Dore. Pearl has also performed at several comedy festivals.
* John F. O'Donnell (JFOD) is currently a 'Political Correspondent' on the comedy news television show 'Redacted Tonight w/ Lee Camp' on RT America. According to the Comedy Central Insider, "John F. O'Donnell is one of the more explosive comics in New York City. On stage, he's like a tightly capped liter of soda filled with lit fireworks." John has been featured in The New York Times, The LA Times and The Huffington Post, as well as being one of Comedy Central's Fresh Faces of Comedy.
* Brittany Carney is a stand-up comedian based in Washington, DC. She is a producer of the comedic lecture series Fale University, and a repeat guest comic on the variety satire Church Night DC.

* Petey Steele has been performing comedy in Washington, D.C. for the past 5 years. His material is based on his poor life choices in the realms of failed relationships, addiction, altruism, and attention to global affairs. His brash, honest comedic take on matters and his unflinching ability to self-deprecate have made him relatable to more audience members than he would like to know, and has made him a minted local and allowed him to open for Robert Kelly, Bobby Lee, Godfrey, and other internationally touring comics.
* Matt Bergman has been seen on AXS TV "Gotham Comedy Live" and his debut cd "A Little Bit Balder Now" reached the top 15 on iTunes.
This comedy series is recommended for adult audiences.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
