About the LCA Show
The Legislative Correspondents’ Association is home to one of the nation’s longest-running satirical shows, featuring live music and sketches that poke fun at New York politics and politicians. The show is older than the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and The Inner Circle show in New York City. It’s produced and performed by current and former LCA members with rebuttals provided by leading Democratic and Republican Empire State politicians, including numerous governors. No person, or party, are spared from laughter.
The annual performance raises money for anti-hunger efforts in 23 counties across Northeastern New York.
