How did Brisbane boy Shane Jenek become Courtney Act, Australia’s most beloved drag queen?
In this chat with Jamila Rizvi we get to know the man behind the drag, who has shot to international fame in recent years with appearances on Ru Paul’s Drag Race and Celebrity Big Brother UK.
Shane explains why he wants to hug his childhood self, what it was like writing his new memoir Caught in The Act during lockdown, and why it’s important to have difficult conversations with people you don’t agree with.
