If you’ve been along to a White Mischief show there’s every chance you will have seen The Correspondents, Mr B and Vicky Butterfly, who are among the finest performers on the UK cabaret scene. You won’t, however, have seen them all on the same stage on the same night…until now.

Our pals at gorgeous Shoreditch club The Last Days of Decadence have assembled all those stars and more for their party this Saturday…and they’re inviting twenty Mischief Makers to share in the fun for free.

See below for information on how to win your tickets.

Saturdays at The Last Days of Decadence

Join us this week as we brim with excitement – The Correspondents shall gracing our stage again. Joining them this week will be the delectable Vicky Butterfly, Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, Ben De Vere and The Marquis of Gray. We know we spoil you, and for the hyper-intelligent among you it may be about to get even better, but only if you can answer the question below:

The Son of ‘who’ was famously crucified around 2010 years ago.

Was it;

a) Plato

b) God

c) Ptolemy XV

First 10 correct entries receive complimentary entrance for themselves and a friend to ‘The Last Days of Decadence’, (which consequently is where our protagonist was reportedly hiding before his big ‘resurrection’)

UPDATE: We are proud to announce that Prangsta is our preferred costume rental company. If you’re going to a White Mischief party and can quote White Mischief you will gain a 20% discount from Prangsta – and read our full article about Prangsta first!

Leading costumier to the vaudeville scene, with an exquisite eye for turning discarded clothes into sumptuous outfits from all eras. Melanie from Prangsta has already kitted a out a few Mischief Makers in superlative Victorian/Steampunk garb and is guaranteed to find the perfect combination of costume and accessories to make your fantasy a reality. Check out the gallery for a few examples of Prangsta’s stunning work.

National Theatre Costume Hire Store 1-3 Brixton Rd, SW9 [directions] (020) 7735 4774 Oval tube

In terms of sheer scale it’s hard to beat the NT, which holds an archive of costumes from productions gone by. Peasants, 18th century ladies, animal costumes, knights, Classical masks… even the entire cast of Wind in the Willows is to be found here. The NT will let you return as often as you like to try on different combinations, then there’s a fee for the costume as a whole, which can be hired for a week.

The Costume Studio 159 Balls Pond Road, N1 (020) 7923 9472 Dalston train

Aiming itself towards the film and TV industry, the Costume Studio nonetheless does supply outfits to members of the public, and the results are impressive if a little on the expensive side.

Angels 119 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2 (020) 7836 5678 Leicester Square tube

Originally a film costumier, Angels has hit the headlines auctioning off items like cloaks from the original Star Wars films. They sell costumes from their website, but Angels’ West End branch is the place to go for your high-end, fancy dress fix.

Mad World 69-85 Tabernacle St, EC2 (0800) 783 6582 Old Street tube

More a conventional fancy dress location, but fairly well-stocked with Victorian and Edwardian looks, plus it’s the favoured fancy dress outlet of the Hoxton massive.

Craftspersons specialising in steampunk and neo-Victoriana

Amanda Scrivener and Thomas Willeford

Amanda Scrivener is a clothing and jewellery designer whose work defies easy definition. After attending two art colleges to study textiles, jewellery design and jewellery production, Amanda’s work became inspired by the shadowy side of Victorian England. As her creator persona, Professor Maelstromme, she crafts items in her laboratory which will bring to mind romance by gaslight, arcane science, the steam age, carnival sideshow curios and aged materials from the tombs of Victorian England.

Amanda is engaged to Thomas Willeford of Brute Force Studios, who is famous in his own right for his abilities as a corset maker, leather worker,  and creator of infernal devices. Creations from both artists are available from Thomas’s website www.bruteforcestudios.com. and Amanda’s Esty site ProfMaelstromme.etsy.com

Firecat Masquerade contact dom.flannelcat@gmail.com

A collective of artists led by Dominic Flannelcat who alongside performance also create beautiful bespoke masks and steampunk goggles. The steampunk goggles take around a fortnight to create, but White Mischief fans who get in touch in time can benefit from a £5 discount on the goggles.

Shops offering both retail and hire

Blackout II 51 Endell Street WC2 (020) 7240 5006 Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Rd tubes

A Covent Garden staple, Blackout is small but crammed with period treasures (far more for ladies than for gentlemen, unfortunately) – note that Blackout also rents as well as sells.

Vintage emporium Beyond Retro’s flagship East London warehouse is a feast of second-hand clothes from the conventional (and affordable) to the wild and daring, plus a ton of accessories from hats to sunglasses. There’s a smaller offshoot in the centre of London.

Radio Days 87 Lower Marsh SE1 (020) 7928 0900 Waterloo tube

Unusually, Radio Days has a remarkable collection of vintage menswear as well as the expected Aladdin’s Cave of ladies’ retro items. Plus vintage furniture, magazines and more: a real gem.

What The Butler Wore 131 Lower Marsh Terrace SE1 (020) 7261 1353 Waterloo tube

Once you’re done with Radio Days, pop in to What The Butler Wore. No butler suits here and only a handful of mens’ shirts/jumpers. But a fair selection of more recent vintage for women.

Alfie’s Antique Market 13-25 Church Street, NW8 [directions] (02o) 7223 6066

Take a visit to Alfie’s for several exceptional retailers of vintage clothes par excellence (with a strong leaning towards ladies’ clothes – gentlemen will find some items but not a great deal.)

We’ve long recommended Prangsta in our extensive list of costumiers and vintage retailers. Now we’re proud to announce that Prangsta is White Mischief’s preferred rental costumier, offering a 20% discount for White Mischief fans.

We have yet to discover a costume rental company whose outfits are as sumptuous, nor have we found a shop who will spend so much time personalising an outfit to the customer’s precise needs. This isn’t fancy dress, this is make-believe on a grand scale.

Read on for more pictures, contacts and all the detail about the outfitters of your dreams…

Prangsta caters both to men and to women and if you’re going to a White Mischief show, quote our name to gain a 20% discount on your Prangsta costume rental.

Prangsta is at 304 New Cross Road, London SE14 6AF, 020 8694 9869, open Monday to Saturday 11am-7pm.

A theatre torn asunder, stripped of its contents ..fantasy books rifled through and faery forests pilfered of their scenery. The pirate seas ripped up and placed in massive mahogany chests of drawers. Prangsta grins, she has taken it all!!!

The scenery shimmers, not all is as it seems.
Prangsta is an open book, beloved of many a stylist
Prangsta is a creative coven, full of characters
Prangsta is a treasure trove, spilling with ideas
Prangsta is covered in gold and glitter, the SHOW WILL GO ON!

The doors open to reveal….

Shelves laden with top hats, walls aching with wanton show girl costumes, Venetian masks, pearly strands, debauched photographs, a ceiling laden with heavy chandeliers. Dickensian ensembles pinned high up on the walls. The mannequin throws your a sultry stare as you enter, she is garbed in molten silver beads, painted as a Harlequin clown, she spins a roulette wheel…

Who will you be tonight? A harlot? A vagabond? A pirate? An angel? A dandy? A clown? Oh, Mr Darcy there you are!!

Founded in 1998 by St Martin’s fashion graduate Melanie Wilson; ingenious and eccentric; Prangsta is a butterfly beating its wings against the spectral, slavish fashion industry.

Each piece in our fashion line is lovingly crafted. Prangsta recycles the remnants of vintage fabrics, stitching rags back together with a modern twist – turning them into resplendent costumes rich with detail and perfectly fitted.

Multi-faceted: as a Costumiers, as Independent Designers, as Interior Decorators, a Dressmaking Class, an Entertainment Agency, a Film and Video location and asPrangsta Boudoir: staged at many a festival and event including Bloomsbury Ballroom, La Rivoli, Secret Garden Party, Sunrise, Camp Bestival and Bestival.

Prangsta costumes are art pieces, the heritage of days when people paid to know the provenance of their clothes. Prangsta has a studio in Deptford where these chaotic dreams are actualised and a shop in New Cross.

“Tarnished, bittersweet music that conjures up Portishead” – The Guardian

Dearest Friends,

I take great pleasure in inviting you to the world premiere of my new show. A collection of songs and stories following the cursed paths of a clutch of troubled souls – with music and light relief provided by my infamous companions, The Clockwork Quartet.
- The Raconteuse

Discover The Horse Hospital transformed into a run down Victorian music hall, where you can enjoy a cup of tea, a glass of port, or something more potent, and refreshments crafted by the band chocolatier. Advanced booking recommended.

“The Clockwork Quartet is a Dresden Dolls-esque collective of 20-odd musicians, actors and cabaret performers who all play various bizarre and morbidly dark characters. Intrigued?” – NME

The Clockwork Quartet consists of a core quartet of guitar, bass banjo, violin and cello, with help from accordion, oboe, piccolo banjo, Stroh violin, musical saw, and the magnificent Steamdrone, as well as the percussive possibilities of clocks, metronomes, discarded mechanical parts and found objects. Members include two trained luthiers, a carpenter, a jeweller, a prop maker and sculptor, a chocolatier, and a doctor of zoology.
