About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

What would it be like to hear comedy from George Washington, Genghis Khan or Ramses The Great? At History Shmistory, host Christian Lawrence leads comics to perform stand up as a historical figure, in costume, in character.

History Shmistory has entertained fans around the world in San Francisco, London, Chicago, Milwaukee and its home, St. Louis.

The Chicago Reader says, “If you've ever wondered what Nikola Tesla's stand-up was like, then this is the show for you,” and both the St. Louis Post-Dispatch & The Chicago Redeye have included it as part of their suggested “things to do” sections.

The Lincoln Lodge

Known primarily for the nation’s longest running independent comedy show (The Lincoln Lodge) we also produce special events, help others organizations to raise money with comedy events and offer classes (Feminine Comique and Stand-Up Seminary) to encourage more community participation in stand-up comedy. We have been very successful at nurturing local talent and can point to a long line of alumni like Hannibal Burress, Kyle Kinane, T.J. Miller, Pete Holmes and Cameron Esposito who all got their start at The Lodge. Our reputation for professionalism, talent and integrity means organizations such as Just for Laughs and Comedy Central have invited us to collaborate with them.
