White Mischief – the extravaganza of astounding live music and jaw-dropping vaudeville - returns to 1900s former art nouveau cinema Scala in King’s Cross for a night of interactive dressup fun and incomparably outrageous stage and aerial performances.
Opening its doors at 9pm sharp on Bank Holiday Saturday 23rd May, White Mischief is curated by “tribal pop” band Tough Love and features multiple themed, decorated rooms where performance and music explode out of every hidden corner.
Having earned the reputation as one of London’s key alternative nights, White Mischief draws upon a decadent fashion sense embracing the aesthetic known as steampunk, where revellers in neo-Victorian outfits evoke the romantic ideals of Jules Verne and the industrial age. (Dressing up is always encouraged but by no means compulsory!)
‘Journey To The Centre Of The Earth’ is the theme for the night’s event and a sense of industrious exploration will be built into every act – aerial performances from Ilumi, chainsaw juggling by the Covent Garden Chainsaw Juggler, a death-defying bullet catch involving a member of the audience from Victorian-themed magician The Irrepressible Mr Flay plus interactive art from Amundsen and Slade’s Sonic Sideshow and a radio adventure show broadcast live from the past by The Fitzrovia Radio Hour.
The evening will be compered by acerbic ukulele-wielding vaudeville artist Desmond O’Connor (not to be confused with 80s TV celeb Des O’Connor) with live music from hosts Tough Love, hip hop meets jazz age swing from festival favourites The Correspondents, steampunk comedy from The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, and tap dancing fun from Top Shelf Jazz. Vintage jazz, blues and swing DJs include Johnny Vercoutre (Modern Times, Zeppelin, Blitz) and DJ $uave among others.
White Mischief nights are never just about what’s happening on stage, so expect to encounter bands and walkabout performers in corridors and stairwells. Thanks to White Mischief’s team of art directors (who have worked in film, theatre and on productions including Punchdrunk) rooms will be dressed to fit the steampunk sci-fi theme.
