The Capitol Steps provide welcome respite from 24/7 cable news with bipartisan lampoonery of the 2016 presidential campaign. Born at a Senate staff Christmas party, the Capitol Steps have come up from the trenches to attempt to be funnier than Congress. They put the “mock” in democracy with award-winning political musical satire.
Over the years, the group has recorded over 34 albums and comprised performers working a total of eighteen Congressional offices and representing 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience. Their newest album and live comedy concert celebrates a lame-duck president in a battle of wits with his candidate counterparts.
The troupe can be heard twice a year on NPR stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
Cyber Café Knapp Stage Pre-Show Concert 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
