Looking for the perfect blend of comedy, camp, and iconic Aussie TV? Fountain Lakes In Lockdown: A Drag Parody Play is the show for you! Audiences are invited to 100 minutes of laughter and nostalgia, reliving a truly wild time long long ago (August 2021 to be exact).
After 18 months of being in and out of lockdowns, Kath (with a silent “z”) and Kim (with a silent “please don’t sue us Gina and Jane. We love you”) are living their best work-from-home, Covid lives. Meanwhile, Sharon is preparing for her Irish Dance competition despite an allergic reaction to hand sanitiser, leaving Kel and Brett caught up in a severe case of miscommunication. Bringing Fringe-goers back to a time that I’m sure we all blanked out, the show is a non-stop laugh fest from start to finish, featuring QR code check-ins, vaccine debates, and fear around the rising Delta Goodrem variant.
The cast themselves are truly talented and skilled, not only in providing spot on impersonations of the beloved Aussie household names, but showcasing wit and tact in heckling the crowd from the aisle and on stage. Played by Art Simone, Thomas Jaspers, Leasa Mann, and Scott Brennan, the show’s cast keeps audiences engaged with perfectly timed jokes, even ending with a post-credit-scene-esk skit.
In a beautifully self-aware performance where no one is safe, the cast breaks character at exactly the right time, laughing with audiences as some gags prove to be far too hilarious.
If you’re in need of side-tickling laughs and iconic Aussie references, take it from moi, take it from moi, Fountain Lakes In Lockdown: A Drag Parody Play has got you covered! Get you tickets now before the show is O. V. A. H. !!!!
