What happens when Washington, D.C.’s premiere, political satire group — the Capitol Steps — call it quits after nearly 40 years? Most folks would agree that it was a great run, and the story would end there. But an intrepid group of cast members and a co-writer would not go quietly into that good night. And just like that, the Capitol Fools were born. They wisely re-created the fast-paced, laugh-out-loud show. They are equal opportunity offenders, skewering both sides of the aisle. The Capitol Fools hold up a mirror to our crazy political culture, providing hilarious song parodies and foolish reflections that continue to inspire belly laughter. Audiences will continue to see cast members from past seasons of the Capitol Steps performing all the beloved bits, the mind-boggling backward-talking spoonerisms, break-neck costume changes, over-the-top impressions, and all-new song parodies reflecting the day’s news.
