Get ready to party like it’s 1999, because Fountain Lakes: Y2k is bringing its camp comedy chaos to Newcastle this October.
The drag parody prequel takes audiences back to the dawn of the new millennium, with butterfly clips, low-rise bumpsters and plenty of 90s nostalgia on the agenda.
Set before the events audiences know and love, the show promises a fresh take on the Fountain Lakes crew as they prepare to face the biggest night of the century.
The big questions are all on the table, with Kath on the hunt for her dream spunk rat, Kim preparing for her upcoming connubials and Sharon hoping to score a midnight pash before the millennium bug strikes.
It’s a prequel packed with the kind of sharp comedy, outrageous characters and camp antics that have made the original world such an enduring favourite.
Leading the Newcastle cast is Art Simone, best known for RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, alongside Thomas Jaspers of Granny Bingo, Jemima Handful from Club Broadway and Scott Brennan of skitHOUSE.
Together, they’ll bring the Fountain Lakes universe to life with a larger-than-life drag twist.
Expect a night of wickedly sharp comedy, 90s throwbacks and fabulous camp tunes as Fountain Lakes: Y2k dives headfirst into the fashions, fears and fabulousness of the era.
Fountain Lakes: Y2k will hit Newcastle’s Civic Theatre on Sunday, 4 October 2026 at 5pm, presented by Thomas Jaspers. Tickets are on sale now via civictheatrenewcastle.com.au.
