from Shameless · host Shameless Media

Hiya friends! Strap yourselves in, ‘cause this one’s a goodie. (Are we allowed to say that about our own podcast episode? Screw it. IT’S AMAZING.) Today we’re joined by the ridiculously entertaining Courtney Act: a drag queen, entertainer and singer who has graced television screens across not just in Australia, but around the world. In this episode, we talk about it all: from Courtney’s schooling experience in Brisbane as Shane Jenek, to how Courtney Act came to life. We also cover why drag is such an important part of her identity, as well as her time on Australian Idol, Big Brother UK and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
