About this show
Hilarious History is an informative, absurd and occasionally wholesome comedy show in which comedian Bobby Sheehan discusses the ridiculous, shocking and unbelievable moments in American history. During the show, you'll hear about the world's oldest STI, learn about Abraham Lincoln's biggest bully, and get to know Warren G. Harding's best friend. Hilarious History is a show that has audiences saying, 'Weird Al was in the Union army?' 'Why bring up soup on your deathbed?' and 'I can't believe Lincoln wrote poetry that terrible.'
