DC's Burlesque Buddy Cops!
Accounts vary, but to the best of anyone’s knowledge, Beaver and Buttstuff was born somewhere in a Facebook group chat in 2018.
The production duo comprises the unchecked id of both Delilah Dentata (Beaver) and Callie Pigeon (Buttstuff). (If you don’t “get” the name, it’s fine. It’ll hit you any day now. We’ll wait.)
With an artistic mission to create shows that exist at the center of a What?!-Why?! Venn diagram, Beaver and Buttstuff is DC’s premier source for Burlesque Nobody Asked For™.
The Village Voice: "Thanks, Beaver and Buttstuff, for continuing to do burlesque I can pray to."
Rolling Stone: "I got hit by a car, but I wouldn't miss a Beaver and Buttstuff joint."
The New York Times: "[Their] 9/11 act was very tasteful."
The Washington Post: "Burlesque that uses your whole brain."
The Wall Street Journal: "...brilliant and demented."
Sunday, June 22
Do you remember when rock was young? How about the 21st night of September? CAN YOU FEEL IT COMING IN THE AIR TONIGHT?! CAN YOU?!?!?!?!
Now in its third year, Make It Clapton brings you the best in burlesque and variety -- all performed to epic dad jams that make you want to shake your moneymaker in a pair of Wrangler Relaxed Fit jeans and/or do a two-step in a "Kiss the Cook" apron while lighting charcoal briquettes in a Weber grill!
Hosted by none other than Delilah Dentata and Callie Pigeon, this ridiculous romp down memory lane will take you so far back, you might actually get grounded.
So sit down in your recliner, pop open a can of Miller High Life, and feast your eyes on what will be one heck of a show, featuring these performers:
Interested in ensuring you get a seat right up front so you can rest your barking dogs, get some free raffle tickets and some dad swag? Don't worry - we have some VIP (Very Important Patriarch) tickets available.
The show that started it all, for better or worse.
Affectionately nicknamed 2Con2Spiratease, this show focused on the creepiest of urban legends. This poster, designed by Bianca Dupree, is an absolutely a work of art.
Beaver and Buttstuff's first foray into dad music occurred in 2022. This poster, loosely designed to look like Ooh Yeah! by Hall and Oates, was one of their greatest achievements.
The show that really leaned into how *gestures vaguely* everything is these days. With surprise appearances from the Unabomber and Q-Anon Shaman, it's a wonder Callie and Delilah haven't been canceled.
This is the sold-out burlesque show you get when you challenge yourself to make a burlesque show that will sell zero tickets. It was glorious. It will happen again.
If you didn't know Mambo No. 5 was dad music, you sure did after leaving what was yet another Beaver and Buttstuff opus.
(And check out that sweet Bridge Over Troubled Water tribute at the top.)
The third installment of Conspiratease (and perhaps the dumbest) proved that DC-area folks are absolute freaks who can't get enough of conspiracies. Callie and Delilah still aren't canceled, somehow.
Tamagotchis! Furbies! Princess Diana Beanie Babies! A skirt made of AOL Internet CDs! Spaghetti! This was a wild ride.
For a second year in a row, this sell-out show proves what we all already knew: the DMV is chock full of absolute dorks. We see you. We love you.
Things got hella spooky in the Bier Baron Bunker with two back-to-back, sold out shows. Did YOU know there are spider eggs in YOUR bubble gum? Now you do.
Beaver and Buttstuff hit the ground running in 2025, celebrating a more nostalgic time where we were all outraged by Bush v. Gore.
Third time's the charm, with two sold out nights of Science Dipshittery. The DMV continues to delight us with their dedication to the dorkiest show themes.
Raising $2,500 for Immigration Equality, this was one hell of a way to spend a Wednesday night.
[In the criminal justice system, enthusiastic public nudity is considered especially heinous. In the District of Columbia, the dedicated exhibitionists who work tirelessly to undermine this system are members of an elite squad, known euphemistically as 'variety entertainers'. These are their titties. DUN DUN.]
