brick haus

Brick Haus

Since the first brick was thrown at Stonewall, a legacy was born; built to last, Brick Haus was destined to be. They’re like your Saturday-Morning Cartoons, on acid. Brick Haus was built upon a foundation of camp with a touch of glam. Each brick lays down the groundwork for a grandiose monolith, portraying a gorgeous mosaic of spit, individuality, and mortar. Put your steel-toed boots on, because they’re cementing their place in the competition just like they’re cementing a place in our hearts. With equal parts Blou, Catfish, Goose and Trix, they’ve got all the right materials to make a lasting impression. They’re all about fierce individuality and artistic expression that have been brought together through a love of weirdness, creative experience, and pure unadulterated eroticism. They’re building a dynasty one brick at a time. Bricked up, Brick Haus.

Prepare for a honkin’ good time with these clowns.

house of wax

House of Wax

The Haus of Wax was forged by melting down four local icons into one beautiful crime against God. These performers are dripping with anticipation and ready to wax the competition like a hairy leg! Matcha is candle wax with a 12-inch wick, glowing in the darkness with humour and radiance. But please do not set her on fi re! Bobby is the waxing moon, transforming and illuminating, bringing forth the tides of change. Ava is wax polish, shining with brilliance and sophistication, but be careful, she’s slippery when wet! Penny is earwax, which is why she has to yell so loud. Together these whacks make the Haus of Wax, ready to melt your minds, hearts, and loins! Why fit the mould when you can break it? Brace yourselves because we’re turning up the heat!
