A riotous body positive show where two beef steaks hang from an artist’s labia; a clown opera love story that may or may not make you ‘laugh, cry, and nearly piss’; a cabaret-baby-day-rave, also known as a Cabababarave – these are shows that won’t usually find top billing in London venues, which is how Vault cemented its niche.
The festival, which begins today and runs until March 19, packs 500 unique events into several spaces in and around the vaults under Waterloo station over an eight-week period, with between two and four shows taking place in each venue every night. If this seems like a lot, there could have been hundreds more – this year they received nearly three times as many applications as there are available slots.
