VAULT Festival has announced the first annual VAULT Comedy Festival, a dedicated programme of over 125 comedy shows across 8 weeks, curated to showcase work from hotly tipped comics through to Edinburgh Comedy Award Winners, stand up heavyweights and TV panel show stars.
Appearances at the inaugural VAULT Comedy Festival come from the likes of Joe Lycett, Bridget Christie, Richard Gadd, Phil Wang and James Acaster, alongside critically-acclaimed Edinburgh shows from Mat Ewins and Graham Dickson as well as Steen Raskopoulos’s The Bear Pack, Joe Sutherland with Model/Actress and The Pretend Men, who return to VAULT with their highly physical Police Cops in Space for a two week run from Jan 24th.
Adam Riches beds in for a week of one-off shows including the 2011 Edinburgh Comedy Award Winning Bring Me The Head of Adam Riches and a performance of his first ever show from the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe Festival Plat du Nuit. A whole programme of Work in Progress shows from comics such as Mae Martin, Rhys James, Fin Taylor and Sheeps return for their first shows since 2014.
For the first time, VAULT Festival has partnered with Lower Marsh’s independent bookshop, performance and cafe fusion space, Travelling Through to programme eight weeks of intimate comedy shows.
Live performance pioneers, VAULT additionally unveils a trailblazing pop up immersive and VR performance space, Unit 9, featuring a dystopian themed interactive strategy experience and lifeboat escape room. With support from WeAreWaterloo, the full programme scales new writing, dance, cabaret, film and much more. VAULT Festival returns from 24th January to 18th March 2018.
