The Capitol Steps

Political satire comes to Poughkeepsie in musical form just 48 hours prior to Election Day. The Capitol Steps, straight from Washington, DC, will perform an off-colored, humorous take on governmental functions through their song parodies and stand-up skits. Their latest release, Take the Money and Run—for President features songs like "Candidates' Hello!" and "Super Congress Debt Committee." Not everyone in the current group has stayed in the political game, but in total, the performers have a collective 62 years of House and Senate staff experience—providing the right amount of qualifications for their run in the comedic office. The Capitol Steps perform on Sunday, November 6 at 7pm at the Bardavon. Tickets are $45 for adults, $40 for members. Bardavon.org.
