The Capitol Steps, the only group in America that attempts to be funnier than the Congress, is a troupe of current and former Congressional staffers who monitor events and personalities on Capitol Hill, in the Oval Office, and in other centers of power and prestige around the world and then take a humorous look at serious issues while providing a nationwide laugh for millions...
This troupe of former (but not disgruntled) Congressional Staffers travels the country satirizing the very people and places that once employed them. It is pure coincidence that most of the Members for whom they have worked have either been defeated or placed under investigation.
They have recorded more than 20 albums, including 8 during the Clinton Administration.
The Capitol Steps perform more than four hundred shows per year all over the U.S., covering territory from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon. This is musical political satire at its best!

Personally, I just loved the cloning skit. It was absolutely silly, but thought-provoking with all that is going on and the possibilities that are out there with this issue. Anyway, everyone loved the performance. We had a great time! Thanks again for all your help and we'll keep you in mind when we need entertainment again."
