  1. A

    Capitol Steps Political Satire

    This troupe claims to be the only group in America that tries to be funnier than Congress. It’s actually composed of current and former congressional staffers, so they know their stuff, although sometimes it can be a little overtly corny. The best of political comedy, this DC tradition pokes satirical bipartisan fun at both sides of the spectrum.
