The Vault Festival has launched its programme for 2019 and it once again includes a self-contained Comedy Festival. This year's line-up includes works-in-progress from household favourites like James Acaster, Phil Wang and Desiree Burch and debut hours from up and coming acts such as Helen Bauer, Chloe Petts and Kayla Macquarie.
Elf Lyons will channel her inner Elton John to perform Love Songs to Guinea Pigs. With songs about, for and to guinea pigs, Lyons explores love and affection in her most personal show to date. Catherine Bohart presents new work, following her successful debut Immaculate, while Max and Ivan try things with two mics and a projector and Tom Parry celebrates life, love and losing your tie.
There is also the chance to catch critically acclaimed shows, transferring down from the Edinburgh Fringe. William Andrews (picture) embraces the Willy he always was, telling remarkable stories with a beguiling blend of daft creativity and ingenuity in Willy. Rob Oldham’s Worm’s Lament keeps the jokes firing even as he considers politics, youth and death. The endlessly inventive Josh Glanc brings Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chamedian south of the river.
The frenetic sketch show Just These, Please uses comic absurdity to take on Bags for Life and Albus Dumbledore while The Free Association are joined by very special guests to create spontaneous and hilarious sketches based on audience suggestions.
The Vault Festival runs from Wednesday 23rd January – Sunday 17th March 2019 in Waterloo, SE1. Buy tickets here.
