Dear Ministry of Burlesque friend
We're seeking volunteers who can provide off-stage performance and walkabout.
White Mischief is a one night indoor festival at Scala on Saturday 7 June, featuring four rooms, two stages, seven live musical acts, seven vaudeville and circus artists, seven DJs plus all sorts of interactive theatrical experiences, costumed characters and decorated / themed rooms. Capacity of the show is 1,000+ and the venue is Scala in King's Cross, London.

All the on-stage acts were booked as long ago as the end of last year and the flyers have been printed out and are being distributed. So this is not an opportunity for someone seeking to offer a main stage act or to be part of the main promotional push behind the night...those people should contact us after June.
However, Scala is a big venue and we seek to ensure that the various corners are filled with surprises for the audience, so if you have something which is more portable, or costume or walkabout based, or perhaps requires close-up interaction with a small group of people, we will likely have a space and a time slot for you. Our theme is steampunk and "Around The World In 80 Days" but you don't have to stick to the theme.
Examples would be:
- Walkabout act
- Very small installation or sideshow
- Close up magic or close up interaction
- Acoustic, portable music
- Small dance act eg baton twirling
We're looking for volunteers, so the chances are we can't pay you. However, if we really like the act you are proposing, we may be able to help with your cab fare home. This is especially the case if we really love your suggestion and you have props to transport.
In addition we can offer the following incentives:
- Free entry for you and a number of your friends
- A free cooked meal during the day of the event
- Limited free drink and snacks
- Help with marketing your own events/products/acts
If this is of interest to you, please get in touch as soon as possible, by emailing the following address:

We cannot guarantee that we will answer messages sent via MoB, so if you email the above address we promise to reply very quickly.
Many thanks for your time!
