The Capitol Fools, once comprised of members of The Capitol Steps, make their Popejoy Hall debut on Friday, Jan. 17, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. Combining political parody with eccentric musical numbers, the Fools insert comedy into the chaotic nature of American politics.

No matter who holds office, there is never a shortage of material for the Capitol Fools. Comprised of former members of The Capitol Steps, the Capitol Fools continue to pave the stairway to heavenly political satire. Join them for all their beloved bits, mind-boggling backward-talking spoonerisms, break-neck costume changes, over-the-top impressions, and all-new song parodies. Prepare for a laugh-out-loud performance and ingenious satirical critique.
