Dear Britch
Playing White Mischief’s second stage “Moon Room”, at the request of British Sea Power, we are delighted to welcome Dear Britch.
As seen on BBC3’s new series, ‘Singing With The Enemy’, Brighton rock-starlet Stuart Flynn is the creator of The Dirty Cakes cabaret-rock band; queen of the queer hip-hop scene: Dear Britch; and trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Stuart has come along way since his former days as a Miss World coach and fashion stylist.
Skinphony
Filling White Mischief’s Lobby Room with awe-inspiring ambient sound and exquisite performance of the unlikeliest kind is Skinphony, the human orchestra.
Skinphony is an original Victorian-styled show of intriguing beauty. The show is enchanting, with instruments artistically made from old machinery and metal, each instrument a piece of art in itself, the instruments are attached to performers either by temporary piercings or to corsets and costumes, these attachments are the strings to the instrument. the instruments are amplified and played in a beautiful show or installation.

There’s a whole subculture dedicated to the steampunk aesthetic, whether that means clockwork mechanisms, burnished brass and copper, technology of the Industrial Revolution, or Victorian-inspired clothing topped off with goggles or monocles. A look around sites such as Steampunk Fashion or Brass Goggles leaves one quite astonished at the level of creativity being poured into the genre. Here we display some of our favourite steampunk photos from around the web, some of which might prove to be useful dressup inspirations.
Performers: Mat Fraser
You may recognise Mat Fraser – musician, writer, actor – from the C4 drama “Metrosexuality”; the BBC series “Doctors”; his award-winning documentary “Born Freak”; his provocative ad for Virgin Mobile; his touring show “Sealboy” or more recently as Puck in Kaos Theatre’s update of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

Dickon Edwards is a London-based writer, flâneur, songwriter, musician, dysfunctional dandy and DJ who will be gracing White Mischief with his presence, and his exceptional taste in music, on November 10 2007.
Since 1997 Dickon has kept a celebrated Internet Diary, making it one of the UK’s longest running ‘blogs’. This dubious qualification means he now appears on TV documentaries about blogging, like BBC1′s ‘Imagine’.
One side-effect of Being Dickon Edwards is DJ-ing at stylish club nights like The Beautiful & Damned, which Time Out called ‘unmissable’. He’s also played to a huge tent of happy dancing people at the 2007 Latitude Festival.

Guests at our last White Mischief will recall the hilarious Dr. Sketchy room, where passers-by were urged to pick up pencil and paper in order to draw a motley assortment of vaudevillians. The room’s hosts were Ophelia Bitz and Dusty Limits, and we’re overjoyed to announce that both will be returning to White Mischief “From The Earth To The Moon”. Dusty will be compere of the second stage “Moon Room”; for more details on the man who has been called “the best MC on the Edinburgh festival fringe” (including video of Dusty at work), click to read more.
Performers: Trixie Malicious
B-movie vixen Trixie Malicious is the living embodiment of Mae West’s quip about “a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it.” Of Canadian descent, the former showgirl now finds herself very much at home on London’s vaudeville scene, and will be bringing her own brand of bump’n'grind to White Mischief’s second stage “Moon Room”.
DJs: The Shellac Sisters
The Shellac Sisters are four glamorous retrochics who dress in all things vintage and play 78rpm records on 1920s wind-up gramophones. They’ll be spinning the sounds in the Lobby Room, the main portal into White Mischief and the hub of our most eccentric entertainments.
Performers: Red Sarah
Voted Best Female Performer at the UK Burlesque Awards 2007, Red Sarah combines her love of costume theatre with circus skills to perform dazzling acts which ooze charisma. Sarah will be performing a specially-commissioned brand new act on White Mischief’s main stage.
