Capitol Steps Live!

Musical Political Satire - Always Fresh and Crispy, Right from the Headlines.

The Newest Show: "Desperate Housemembers"

The Capitol Steps began in 1981, at a Christmas party in the office of former Senator Charles Percy. Like most things in Congress, they never knew when to stop.

Over the past thirty years, the Capitol Steps have recorded
thirty-one albums, and appeared on "Good Morning
America," the "Today Show," "20/20," "Entertainment
Tonight," "Nightline," CNN's "Inside Politics," and dozens of times on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."

The Capitol Steps fully admit that they have an odd way of looking at the news. When they hear of a scandal, they don't think about whether it's good or bad for the country. Their two Questions are
(1) is it funny? And (2) what rhymes with it?
Next thing you know, someone wakes up screaming with an
idea for a parody. Typically, it's Mark or Elaina, but
blame often falls on other cast members. And ideas
are constantly being thrown in by almost everyone
for the backwards talk, Lirty Diesin fact,
the entire cast has tharted to stink that way!
