And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Space Play | Vault Festival | 25-29 Jan
Today, because I am such a Vault Festival fan, I am going to devote all the tips to it. ALL OF THEM. But don’t worry, I’ll give it a rest and allow everyone else a go over the next few days. My first choice is ‘Space Play’: “ Michael finds himself 400km up; a stranded astronaut, spinning around the earth on a solitary orbit. The crew are dead, the space craft is falling apart and our hero begins to suspect not everything is at it seems” – expect black comedy and a stunning set, head this way for more.
Fran & Leni | Vault Festival | 25-29 Jan
This is the work of Old Trunk, the theatre producing team that have given birth to a host of brilliant shows, most notably ‘Pramkicker’, so you know you are on to a good thing with this. It tells the tale of two girls who meet in a North London comprehensive in 1976 and after years of friendship create a punk band, in a play which explores escape from the traditional norms of femininity that bind women, and the freedom of expression they find in movements like punk.

Lost Voice Guy – Disability For Dunces Volume 2 | Vault Festival | 27-28 Jan (pictured)
BBC New Comedy Award winner Lost Voice Guy – aka Lee Ridley – answers all the daft questions that people ask him on account of his being disabled. Questions like: Can you really not talk? Have you considered an exorcism? Are you just in it for the parking? Have you ever tried talking, just to see what happens? How do you have sex? Highly acclaimed and very brilliant.
