Shane Jenek (AKA Courtney Act)

You might know Shane Jenek by their drag name Courtney Act. They’re a drag artist, singer, advocate, cultural provocateur, and now author, with their memoir ‘Caught in the Act’ hitting shelves ahead of their chat with Mia.  In this episode, they explored grey areas and bright moments: from the space between Courtney and Shane, to Brisbane in the 80s, to a kiss at the Stonewall Hotel, to the birth of Courtney Act, to reality TV overseas and in Australia.  This episode was produced by Emma Higgins. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
