Capitol Comedy

Capitol Comedy is a performance group that uses the winning formula of musical comedy, multimedia animation, and political satire to engage audiences in an entertainment that is hilarious, insightful and non-partisan. Capitol Comedy combines parodies and original compositions to create a lively musical program. The show intersperses musical numbers with three types of non-musical elements: sketches, mock commercial messages, and “news breaks.” The mock commercial messages and “news breaks” are sometimes live and sometimes animated videos delivered on a screen behind the stage.

The six-person cast is composed of talented actor-singers and dancers with Hollywood, regional theater and off-Broadway experience. Their considerable performance skills include the ability to channel a range of political and other public figures. Capitol Comedy shows are timely and sharply satirical without being demeaning or vulgar. Since there is plenty on both the right and the left that needs criticism and evokes laughter, we aim for material that will be appreciated by and amusing to audience members whatever their political persuasion.
