About

Bambi Karloff is a clown, drag king, burlesque performer, and sideshow entertainer based in Seattle. With a background in acting, dance, and long form improvisational comedy, Bambi is one of the fewer than 30 female sword swallowers in the world. In addition to sword swallowing, she eats fire, walks on broken glass, and performs closeup card magic. Whether performing as herself or as her bumbling male alter ego Igor Wurst, Bambi’s atomic-age style and cheeky Borscht belt humor bring a midcentury flair to the age-old art of sideshow.
