Our Origin Story
Our Origin Story
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™.

Sunday, February 1
Now listen up, here's the story...
Did you shamelessly pirate music on Napster? Are you glad wide-legged jeans are making a comeback? Do you miss cryptically expressing your emotions in your AIM away message? Did you maintain a healthy sense of competition between your friends through Myspace's Top 8? And finally: Bath and Body Works' Cucumber Melon or Love Spell?
Rub on some body glitter, feed your Tamagotchi, grab your Motorola Razr, and join us at this burlesque and variety celebration of Y2K music, culture, and - for better or worse - fashion.
Y2K-era outfits absolutely encouraged. Delia's, JNCO, Hot Topic, PacSun... whatever vibes speak to you.

Beaver and Buttstuff’s SPRUNG semester begins!

Whether you were valedictorian, prom queen, a Model-UN nerd, or all three because you peaked in high school (not judging!), this is the show for you.
And don’t worry, we promise won’t assign a group project.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before The Honorable Beaver and Buttstuff are admonished to draw near.
Beaver and Buttstuff, “Attorneys at Law”*, hereby summon you to a burlesque and variety “tribute” to crime, justice, and lovers of both!
This term’s docket features a roster of your favorite repeat offenders, all prepared to present the court with compelling bodies…of evidence!
And because justice and community go hand-in-hand, a portion of this show’s proceeds will be donated to a non-profit TBA.
Consider yourself served. Failure to appear may result in sanctions, penalties, or worse: being charged with felony FOMO.

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.
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 as 'variety entertainers'. These are their titties, which raised $2,500 for Immigration Equality. DUN DUN.
Meatloaf! Lionel Richie! Birdhouse building! Cookouts! Pop-Up Video! It was all here!
Attendees witnessed dastardly deeds, like the inclusion of razors and toothbrushes in Halloween candy, learned more about turnin' the friggin' frogs gay, and took a dive into the deep lore of creepypasta "1999."
