Stars of Hastings 2025

Planchette

Hi, I’m Planchette ‘The Wicked Witch of the Mid North’ and a proud member of Newcastle’s iconic ‘Haus of Woo’!

I’m an 18-year-old queer advocate and drag performer from Port Macquarie, NSW. I started my drag journey in 2021 and have been working closely with local LGBTQIA+ advocacy groups ever since, helping to create safe, inclusive spaces along the Mid North Coast.

I’ve been lucky enough to perform at events across Australia, and I’ve felt the love and support of communities all over this beautiful country. 

Now, I’m beyond excited to bring some spook, sass, and a whole lot of love to this years Stars of Hastings!

Planchette’s Pride Party Fundraiser | Thank You’s and Recap

🌟 PLANCHETTE’S PRIDE PARTY 🌟 A HUGE thank you to everyone who came to my fundraiser last Saturday at @rocksalt_atthemarina 🖤 Together, we raised an incredible $8403.50 for @cancercouncilnsw — and it wouldn’t have been possible without the 131 ticket holders, every guest, business, and soul who supported me through this whole journey 💛🌈 Special shoutouts to: 🎥 @silverquinnproductions for the epic recap vid and donating your time capturing the night 🎧 @readysetboom_au for the killer boombox DJ set 📸 @lolawpics for capturing all the magic 🖤 @mothership.music.pmq / @darkalleycollectables for holding down the door 🩷 Narelle for sharing her story and being so vulnerable x 🍽️ @rocksalt_atthemarina for hosting and embracing my chaos 🎀 @cheersqueers__ for the stunning decor donation And of course… 💃 The entertainers: @im_aria_beautiful @renee_thicc_ @hula_hell_is_she @burlesqfitacademy @akabeecee — thank you for your energy, talent, and generosity! And finally… my biggest and deepest thank you goes to my amazing parents and my star sponsors @sbcm.au Mum and Dad, this event wouldn’t have been possible without you. You were behind the scenes of everything!Staying up late laminating drink and meal tix, loading and unloading the car a million times, framing, taping and printing, pushing me forward when I doubted myself. You worked just as hard (if not harder!) than I did to make this dream come true. You never once told me to make it smaller, calmer, easier you just said “let’s make it happen.” I love you more than I can say. Thank you for being my rock, my stage crew, and my biggest cheerleaders. 🖤 I had the best time and I can’t wait to do it all again. Your dancing queen, Planchette x Stay spooky

Dance Parter and Genre Announcement 📣

Meet Carlee Fletcher! My gorgeous dance partner and newfound friend from Burlesqfit Academy Port Macquarie! We’ll be hitting the stage together on August 1st for the Stars of Hastings main event ✨ I’ve been given Burlesque as my genre – totally out of my comfort zone, but I love a challenge. Carlee’s an absolute powerhouse and I couldn’t ask for a better person to guide me through this wild ride! Stay tuned for more fun and exciting updates! 👀
