In honor of President's Week, the comedians of Kids 'N Comedy's "Did You Know Show" are pouncing upon presidential trivia. This original standup show with material by teenage comedians will occur February 26 at Gotham Comedy Club.

Did you know that James Madison was the nation's shortest president at 5' 4"?  He weighed less than 100 pounds. The heaviest was William Howard Taft, who topped 300 pounds. He got stuck in the White House bathtub once, so he ordered a replacement that could hold four average men. John Quincy Adams kept weight off with nude early morning swims in the Potomac River. He also kept an alligator in the White House. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were all avid collectors and players of marbles. James Garfield had an act where he could write in ancient Latin with his left hand while simultaneously writing in ancient Greek with his right. This gag could set guests spinning in their seats, if they were in swivel chairs, which were invented by Thomas Jefferson.

Original stand-up on these and other random facts will be performed by Charley Bardey, Dillon Heverin, Joe O’Hare, Zach Rosenfeld, Lee Wolfowitz and Andrew Vatier.

Kids 'N Comedy presents monthly shows at Gotham Comedy Club with a turntable of talented teens and 'tweens from the tri-state area. In the company's shows, each comic performs his/her own material, which is screened to be free of profanity and abrasive or cheap "low" humor (like fart jokes). They do, however, venture into edgy comic terrain: politics, getting old, even death.

The show is at 1:00 PM; the reservations number is 212-877-6115 and online ticketing is available on the Kids 'N Comedy website,www.kidsncomedy.com
