Courtney Act announces UK tour

Courtney Act will return to the UK in 2021 with the tour ‘Fluid’.

The ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ winner – whose real name is Shane Jenek – will embark on a tour of the UK and Ireland in April, following sold-out shows in Australia.

The tour will see the drag queen explore gender and sexuality through cabaret.

Courtney said: "Can’t wait to splash ‘Fluid’ all across the UK and Europe in April 2021. The band and I will be touring this show of original live music, storytelling and of course costumes, hair, and shoes!

"I was honoured the show sold out and received amazing reviews when it opened earlier this year during Sydney Mardi Gras, it comes from my heart and is an exploration of identity, gender, sexuality and also a whole lot of fun. Get into it, the future is fluid!"

The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ star will kick off the tour in Manchester before visiting Bath, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Newcastle and Worthing.

Courtney, 38, first made waves on the first season of ‘Australian Idol’ in 2003 after being put through the first round of auditions as Shane, but returned the next day in drag.

Courtney then found stardom as the joint runner up with Adore Delano on the highly acclaimed ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ in series six before becoming a household name on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in 2018.
