ABOUT haus of bambi

haus of bambi is a (figurative) home for queer artistry in Washington, DC that is committed not only to artistic excellence, but to developing real connections using art.

Founded by cabaret artist Bambi, the haus is a cross between Andy Warhol’s Factory and Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

Bambi believes art can and should be the reason that we get together. Because of that, the haus creates genderless and gendermore spectacles for the stage, screen, and club that defy genre, start conversations, and complicate any single understanding. 

haus of bambi produces shows and events that invite, embrace, and engage a true spectrum of community members. The haus’ collaborators include The Kennedy Center; New York couturier Bach Mai; DC’s 2023 Best Drag King, Molasses; the bi-monthly nationally distributed magazine The Gay & Lesbian Review;  the national queer and BIPOC centered dance festival The BlackLight Summit; Virginia based Mound Furniture; and DC-based fashion designer The Ron David Studio.
