Jokers' Masquerade is an online retailer selling fancy dress costumes and accessories.

History

[edit]

Founded in 2001, the company was originally an online joke shop run by owners Mark and Sandra Lewis. Following the lack of availability of fancy dress in the local area, they decided to add fancy dress costumes to the site in an attempt to see if there was demand for online fancy dress.[citation needed]
