The Capitol Steps Bring Political Humor to Thousand Oaks on October 25

Thousand Oaks, CA) -The Capitol Steps bring their new shows "What to Expect When You're Electing" to the Fred Kavli Theatre on October 25, 2016 at 7:30 pm.

More than thirty years ago, the Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of 18 Congressional offices and represent 62 collective years of House and Senate staff experience.

The Capitol Steps plan to bring down the house and Senate with their unique blend of music and political comedy. Each show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum laughing. The troupe started in 1981, since then they have appeared on "The Today Show," "Nightline," "CBS Evening News" and for many years in specials for National Public Radio. They have performed for five US Presidents, traveled to all 50 states (to perform, not sight-see) and recorded over 30 albums.

The show is constantly changing, strenuously bi-partisan, and includes songs about the election madness, as well as other things in the news, such as "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Crimea," "Ain't No Pipeline, Now It's Gone," and "The iMpossible iWatch."

If you have ever wanted to see Hillary Clinton sing a show tune, Donald Trump sing a rock song, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie do a classical ballet, this might just be the show for you!
