If you don't know this group, they are a bunch of ex-Congressional staffers who started a comedy troupe years ago. They now have a standing engagement in D.C., and do some traveling.

They constantly update their material so the stuff tonight is likely to be full of jokes about the campaign.

I don't know what time it will be on, but if you have a good public radio station available, you might be able to find out.

I highly recommend it!

I heard them on a road trip with some friends of mine.
They are extremely funny!

Hmmmm. They do not seem to be listed on the schedule on my public radio station's website. Pity.

Drat! The Capitol Steps website clarifies -- not every station is playing it, and not every one that's playing it will do so ON Halloween.

Grrrrrr.

Case in point -- I missed it on my local station -- they played it 10/28 at 7:30 pm.

Arrrggghhh...

The good news is that you can go hear past shows and you can listen to the new one on the Capitol Steps website -- compressed format.

I had the chance to see the Steps perform live at my college last year, and they were hilarious. Their sendup of the Governator (which was the big issue at the time), along with the various Democratic presidential candidates, were particularly good IIRC.
