After two-and-a-half years of Covid-related cancellation, the head-spinningly eclectic Vault Festival will finally be back in London in 2023 with another brilliantly oddball eight-week programme of performance, lasting from January 24 until March 19. The action takes place in the Waterloo Vaults, a sprawling, crypt-like space underneath Waterloo Station, with a couple of extra shows in nearby venues like Network Theatre and Morley College. Because it’s a fringe fest, prices are most definitely pocket-friendly. Most tickets are £13-£17, which leaves a bit of spare cash for a pint at one of the venue’s many bars. Here is our guide to the fest’s best theatre, comedy and other events.
