Costume hire, vintage stores and hair salons
March 12, 2010 by Tobias
Filed under Dressup, Featured, Retailers, We recommend...
Dressing up is by no means compulsory at White Mischief, but we encourage our partygoers to enter into the spirit of things and in doing so we’ve come across dozens of wonderful vintage clothing emporiums, hair salons, costume hire warehouses and more. So we’re delighted to share the best of London’s costume and vintage scene with you here. Remember, while designer clothes may be expensive, imagination costs nothing and it’s possible to pick up some true style for very little cost at these wonderful locations. Don’t forget to tell them you found out about them on the White Mischief site.

VIP tickets – access to two parties, balcony, private bar

We’re offering a limited number of VIP tickets for our “Great Exhibition” party on Saturday March 27. Not only do the VIP tickets get you a whole host of advantages at Scala, they also get you in to another party – our “White Mischief Revue” at Proud Cabaret on Friday March 26 – for free.
If you’d rather not spend too much time on your feet and like the idea of being able to find a seat easily; if you’re prone to getting hot under the collar and you’d like a restful spot in which to cool down; if you prefer quick access to the booze or if you’re just a snooty type who doesn’t like mingling with the rest of us, the VIP room is for you.
VIP tickets get you into the private glass bar, with the following advantages:
- A dedicated private bar
- Air conditioning
- A view over the main stage
- Access to the private balcony over the main stage
- Plentiful seating
- Limited capacity only for VIPs
Plus! Free entry to the White Mischief Revue at Proud Cabaret, Friday March 26
- All VIP ticketholders are automatically placed on the guestlist for the White Mischief Revue on Friday March 26
- These are show-only tickets worth £10 on their own
VIP ticketbuyers can exchange their ticket for a VIP pass on the door. We will be limiting access to the room so that only VIP pass holders can gain entry. We will be selling significantly fewer VIP tickets than the room’s legal capacity, so you can be absolutely sure that buying VIP tickets will secure you a peaceful refuge, an enclave of calm, as well as a perfect spot from which to view the acts.
This is the ideal way to treat your loved one or to celebrate a birthday. Indeed, if you have a group we are offering group discounts on large batches of VIP tickets, so by all means contact us if you would like to order a group of VIP places. Or to book direct, visit our ticket booking page
Note that the VIP tickets are limited and have sold out early at all previous events.

Live-drawing YOU at White Mischief NYE: Jason Atomic
December 27, 2009 by Tobias
Filed under Featured, Performers
Jason Atomic is a fine artist currently living in North London with his muse Manko and a grumpy little black cat called Howard. He’ll be drawing members of the audience live at White Mischief’s New Year’s Eve 1910 party.
Thematically his work is documentary reportage of pop and counter culture, exploring underground scenes, alternative and street fashion, live music & performance.
His energetic sketches (drawn without looking at the paper) make up an inimitable style. Loose line drawings in his always-at-hand sketchbook are worked up onto canvas, and undergo dramatic colouring in acrylics, inks and varnishes; vibrant colours, dribbles and splatters.
Work often combines images and text.
He has exhibited and performed at established institutions such as the Tokyo Metropolitain Museum of Art, Museum Quartier in Vienna and The National Portrait Gallery London, where he set an unofficial World land speed record for portraiture in summer 2008:

He has also performed at legendary underground venues like Tokyo Dark Castle, Kashpoint and The Batcave.

Kiki Kaboom, appearing at White Mischief NYE
December 21, 2009 by Tobias
Filed under Featured, Performers
We’re delighted to welcome Kiki Kaboom to the stage on New Year’s Eve. Kiki will be joining us at the end of a marathon four-gig ‘record breaker’ attempt, meaning that by the time she reaches us in the early hours, Kiki should be ready to let her hair down and party with the Mischief Makers!
Winner of Best Newcomer 2009 at the London Burlesque Festival, Kiki Kaboom has exploded onto the UK burlesque scene. An already accomplished actress and singer, she has taken burlesque by the balls and given them a gentle squeeze.
Part clown, part sex-kitten and all woman, Kiki has a cheeky, charming, irreverent approach and a wicked sense of humour. Oozing sass, sauciness and sex appeal, her warmth and wit ensures she remains a firm favourite with every audience.
She is a regular fixture on the London and UK circuit, and has performed internationally at the Amsterdam Burlesque Festival, the Dublin Burlesque Ball, and will be in Vancouver and Seattle over the coming months. She has also been chosen to model for Maybelline New York, and will be appearing in an upcoming EMI film about Immodesty Blaize and the rise of neo-burlesque in this country.
She has an array of acts at her disposal – classic, comic, vintage, character-based or musical and is also an experienced compere, having hosted nights for Chaz Royal (London and Amsterdam), Last Days of Decadence, Lady Luck Club and Beyond The Cabaret. Having trained with Jo King, Kiki now also teaches for Jo at the London Academy of Burlesque.
Ladies, gentlemen, hold on to your hats. She’s one vivacious vixen.
