This is a Stand up Comedy split bill with a twist, it is performed by Chris and Matthew Ali who are twins. We are spitting images of each other with one twin who is straight and one who is gay.
We both started stand up comedy at the same time 4 years ago and have been honing our craft independently for that time and are now coming together to bring one show. We will be doing a set each of our own stand up material and a section where we will be doing a double act and interacting with the audience.
It’s a unique show brought by two people who look the same.

Kit the Musical by Julian Ng
2026-07-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Spotlites Theatre, 338 High St, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4NR, United Kingdom
Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury in 1564. After an illustrious education at the King’s School and the University of Cambridge, he went on to define the plays of the Elizabethan period with his use of blank verse and his daring (and dangerous) subject matters. At the age of 29, he was supposedly killed in a rooming house in Deptford. Was it a brawling accident, or was it an assassination? Marlowe was rumoured to be a spy for Queen Elizabeth I. Did someone want him dead? Did he know things he should not have? Was it because he dared to think atheist thoughts? Or, was it a love triangle that got him killed?

Some believe that Marlowe didn’t die after all… so, what did happen?

This original British musical was conceived and written by Julian Ng, and will premiere in its entirety as a concert at the inaugural Medway Fringe 2026.

The Godless Reds 25th Anniversary Show
2026-07-19 19:00 | Poco Loco, 58 - 60 High Street, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4DS, United Kingdom
‘The Godless Reds are a spiky indie punk force forged through years of noise, friendship, and reinvention. Led by principal songwriter Justin Chisnall—aka Justin Fun—alongside Dan O’Blivion (Dan Purton) on drums and Antmonkey (Anthony Martin) on bass, the band blends raw energy with sharp songwriting. Having shared stages with Chumbawumba and Reuben, their journey has evolved into something deeper: a family as much as a band. After a quieter spell, a creative resurgence has reignited their fire. Expect two 45-minute sets of entirely original material—one stripped-back acoustic, one full-throttle punk. Urgent, honest, and not to be missed.’
