Comedy at Lincoln's Cottage

Comedy at Lincoln’s Cottage is a live Two Faces Comedy Series performance at President Lincoln’s Cottage in Petworth. This October edition centers on “political brawling,” using the historic setting and Abraham Lincoln’s connection to partisan politics as a backdrop for a satirical show about presidents from American history trading insults for the audience’s amusement.

The performers are The Washington Roast, a comedy show created and hosted by Tim Kardashian. The production aims to offer an offline, nonpartisan space for laughter amid America’s polarized political climate. After building a following in Washington and receiving media attention, the show expanded to additional markets, including Broadway, and has attracted both liberal and conservative audiences.
