Australian drag superstar Courtney Act (RuPaul's Drag Race, Australian Idol) takes you over the rainbow and down under in her new show. Chock full of hits and high notes, you will leave this show realising there's no place like home! 'Coy, funny, sexy, classy, and thoroughly upbeat... Courtney is something fresh and inspiring' (ManhattanDigest.com). 'Her beauty doesn't overshadow her talent - she can seriously hold a tune. With Broadway pipes and a mean falsetto' (Provincetown Banner).

Kirstyn Smith, The List, 16th August 2017Courtney Act: 'Drag is a strength and not a weakness'
Courtney Act is astonishingly beautiful. I don't mean that in a creepy objectifying way. Beauty, in her line of work, is more of a toolkit than anything else.
