A one-night-only competition, where the world's greatest celebrities are put to the ultimate contest - with you as the judge

⭐ Doppelgänger Showdown — Sittingbourne’s One‑Night‑Only Lookalike Spectacle

On 6 March 2027, Sittingbourne gets a little stranger — in the best possible way.

Doppelgänger Showdown brings together local performers who transform into celebrities, icons, and fictional favourites. They don’t just dress the part; they become it, bending reality just enough to make you wonder if Sittingbourne has slipped sideways for the evening.

Your host: (Not actually) Claudia Winkleman - Catty O'Neill

Catty has bought the perfect wig for the occasion. When not pretending to be the fiercest presenter in all of tellyland, she can be found trying all sorts of creative endeavours, from vibe-coding apps, 3D printing party games, to cosplaying as a middle-aged singing secretary on TikTok. And of course, persuading her friends to join her in the bizarre occurrence she calls a "show".

🌙 A Different Kind of Night Out in Sittingbourne

If you’re looking for something beyond the usual pubs, quizzes, or cinema trips, this is the kind of event that shakes things up. It’s playful, odd, creative, and proudly local — a chance to see Sittingbourne performers doing something brilliantly unusual.

🔥 Why You'll Love It

Sittingbourne has a strong community of performers and creatives, and the Doppelgänger Showdown gives them a stage to go big, go weird, and go all‑in on their chosen character. It’s a one‑night‑only event that blends comedy, theatre, and a dash of surreal chaos.

Join us for a night where imitation becomes invention, and Sittingbourne becomes the backdrop for something delightfully unexpected.
