This month, we’ve been especially good to you on the competition front. Last Saturday, we sent lucky prizewinner Stefan K to a late night show in a venerable graveyard and there’s still a chance to win tickets to the kinky and quirky Barelesque VII: Oh, The Horror on 16 October.
This latest contest, though, is for tickets to the mother of all Halloween parties. And VIP tickets, no less. White Mischief have become renowned for their extravagant events which take over entire venues and then cram them from fore to aft with talented performers and more than a few interactive surprises.
They return this month on 25 October to the Scala with another mouthwatering bill. Host Professor Elemental will be fronting a crack squad of international circus and cabaret talent featuring aerial action from Empress Stah. Alexandra Hofgartner and Jo Foley, award-winning flaming hoop from Anna The Hulagan and unicycling boylesquer Adriano Fettucini. Look out for African dance and acrobatics from Isaac Blankson, Johann Lipowicz (aka David Armand) will be doing his cheeky interpretative dancing and Rod Laver will be juggling ping pongs using only his mouth.

There’s no shortage of music, either with Des O’Connor and the Premier Cru, Mister Meredith and DJs The Roustabouts on hand to get those feet moving. Looking for something a bit different? Wander the venue and you will come across the London Leisure Pirates and their “speed-hating” sessions and Circle of Medea’s feminist tarot readings.
One of the high points of all White Mischief Halloween events has been the crazy, weird and wonderful outfits worn by the guests. Check out the get-ups in 2010’s Haunted Ballroom, 2011’s Ghost In The Machine, 2012’s Phantasmagoria and 2013’s Births, Marriages and Deaths. Dress-up is not compulsory but is strongly encouraged. Fit in with the theme by taking inspiration from famous phantoms, dead celebs, legendary horror characters and whatever silver screen insanity comes to mind.
