Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has responded to a string of bizarre incidents at his concerts, where fans have repeatedly defecated or urinated in the venue, by mocking a fake call with "Congress" during a Washington, D.C. show. The stunt, delivered during a recurring phone-booth segment of his set, saw Kahan tell the crowd that legislation had supposedly been passed requiring everyone to wear nappies, a jokey response to a problem that has become an ongoing embarrassment on social media.

The trouble began weeks earlier when a fan defecated near the stage at a Philadelphia concert, prompting Kahan to lead the audience in a mock pledge to better control their bowel movements. A second incident followed at his Citi Field show, where a woman in the crowd allegedly pulled down her shorts and urinated on another fan's bag. The Washington gig's spoof congressional call, made during the "Dial Drunk" segment on 22 July 2026, has since circulated widely on social media as fans reacted with amusement to Kahan's exasperated response.
