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”.
We’re delighted to announce that this absurdly talented polymath is compering White Mischief: “From The Earth To The Moon”, as our Master of Ceremonies for the main stage “Earth Room”. Read on for photos, videos and more on Mat Fraser…

Ophelia Bitz – who wowed the Dr Sketchy room at our last White Mischief – joins us once again on November 10 with a performance on our second stage “Moon Room”.
Bitz is a compere, broadcaster for everyone from Channel 4 Radio to Resonance FM, performance artist, comedienne, muse, events promoter, writer and cabaret performer specialising in hands-free cocktail shaking and dubious forms of anatomical bar-tending.
Continue ReadingDJs: Dickon Edwards
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.

Unlike some clubs, White Mischief does not enforce a strict dress code. We’ve seen guests at White Mischief wearing everything from t-shirts and jeans to nu-rave looks to suits and cocktail dresses to facepaint, Adam Ant outfits and even badger suits. In terms of era, Mischief-Makers have represented every age from the 1890s through to the 1990s. So while we make a point of being inclusive – we don’t turn anyone away – we do encourage everyone to get into the spirit of things by dressing up in whatever way they feel is appropriate. And there are prizes for the most sensationally dressed. So here are a few inspirations for those who plan to get their glad rags on.
