Welcome to the Medway Fringe Festival (or MedFringe) where the stage has no limits and the rules are left at the door. From basement theatre and late-night laughs to pop-up performances that defy definition, we’re bringing 22 unique acts to the heart of our city.

We don’t do “boring.” We do bold. Browse the program, find your vibe, and click through to our partner venues to grab your tickets. The fringe is calling — are you coming?
