This hysterical troupe of current and former Congressional staffers holds an irreverent view of their bosses, making fun of the left, right and center! Founded in 1981 after the election of President Reagan, they hold the idea that if entertainers could become politicians, than politicians can become entertainers. Just in time for election season, nobody on the Hill is safe from their satirical songs or witty skits. Even if you think you’ve seen the show before, remember that the people in charge are always supplying new comedic material from wars and scandals to State-of-the-Union addresses for equal opportunity fun!
