A B.S. in History: Historical Fact or Hysterical Fiction?

Can you tell the difference between history and complete nonsense? 

Join host and comedian J. Steinbrunner for A B.S. in History, an interactive evening where the truth is up for debate. Three comedians take on six curious objects from the Davenport House Museum's collection. Each comedian knows the true story behind just one object—but for every other artifact, they'll have to rely on quick thinking, creativity, and their best powers of persuasion. 

Audience members choose which objects come into play, then listen as each comedian tells the story behind them. Only one version is rooted in historical fact. The other two? Complete B.S. 

After each round, it's up to you to decide who's telling the truth. Cast your vote, test your instincts, and see if you can separate real history from brilliantly convincing fiction. 

Expect surprising artifacts, outrageous stories, plenty of laughs, and the reminder that sometimes the truth is stranger—and funnier—than fiction.
