"I leave it to my audience: If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?”
-- 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. Each show is meant to be inspired by some aspect, silly or serious, of Lincoln's legacy or the history of the cottage.
Make Up Party
For November 2019 we're bringing the Improv's creative challenge, the Make Up Party, to Lincoln's Cottage. We're challenging the funny people of the DMV to come up with five minutes of comedy, inspired by the theme of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. You get to enjoy what they come up with -- and send the best performers home with cash prizes from the DC Improv! Whether you're hopping on stage or in the crowd, it's gonna be a good time.
If you want to compete: Teams can be one to four people. Fill out this form to let us know that you want to play. Once we confirm that you're on the show, buy tickets for your team and get to work! You can prepare stand-up, sketch, a pun routine or something beyond category. Improv troupes are also welcome to compete! Performances need to be a maximum of five minutes, and they need to be inspired by ABRAHAM LINCOLN in some way. Be creative! Beards, honesty, pennies, wrestling, theater, mattress sales, the Gettysburg Address, Mary Todd, debates ... it's all fair game.
The winning team (as decided by audience cheers) takes home a $250 cash prize from the Improv, and the runner up gets $125
The teams will perform in this order:
* Haywood Turnispeed Jr. (stand-up)
* Homeless Fireparty (sketch)
* MC Slimm Slappy (improv)
* Shahryar (stand-up)
* Bad Medicine (sketch)
* Adrian Rodney (stand-up)
* The Festivus Miracles (sketch)
* Porkchop Volcano (imrpove)
We'll also have a guest performance by Lafayette Wright.

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.
