Capitol Steps to benefit Loudoun Habitat for Humanity

  • Tuscarora High School 801 North King Street Leesburg, VA, 20176 United States (map)

TICKETS MAY BE PURCHASED AT THE DOOR.

OVER 30 YEARS AGO, the Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

The Capitol Steps have elevated political satire to an art form.  Before The Daily Show, Full Frontal, and The Colbert Report, the comedy troupe gave audiences laugh cramps with their bipartisan lampooning.  If you've been keeping up with the news, you know there is no shortage of material.  It doesn't matter if you're a Republican or Democrat:  neither side is safe from the group that put the "MOCK" in Democracy!

Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded over 35 albums, including their latest, Orange Is the New Barack. They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard twice a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
