How Abraham Lincoln’s Humor Inspired a Stand Up Comedy Series in DC | WETA Arts

Описание: Experience stand‑up comedy like you’ve never seen it before—inside President Lincoln’s Cottage in Washington, D.C. In this WETA Arts episode, comedians from the DC Improv bring history to life through the Two Faces Comedy Series, inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s legendary sense of humor. Performed in the very parlor where Lincoln once sought refuge during the Civil War, the show blends smart political comedy, personal storytelling, and social commentary. Featuring a diverse lineup of DC‑based comedians, the evening shows how laughter—like it did for Lincoln himself—can help audiences confront grief, division, and complex issues with insight, humanity, and heart.
