A satirical museum tour with facts, fibs, and full absurdity.

The Docent – “Preston at the Tenement Museum”

In this episode of The Docent, Preston — a smug great-grandson of a notorious slumlord who insists on calling himself a “historical narrative sculptor” — leads you through New York’s Tenement Museum, weaving together Slumlord Soap product placement, the revelation that George Washington’s axe supposedly ran on electricity, and a breezy rewrite of tenant history “before gentrification was invented” in a tour that’s equal parts history lesson and fever dream.

Part of The Porcupine Presents ..., The Docent blends sharp wit, improv-style absurdity, and richly produced audio for a one-of-a-kind comedy experience.
