Courtney Act Revises Australian Tour Dates

Australia's international drag sensation Courtney Act has taken the UK by storm since she entered the UK Celebrity Big Brother house. Due to Courtney's ongoing commitment to Celebrity Big Brother, some of the previously announced tour dates during her Australian tour have been rescheduled.

The tour will now begin in Adelaide on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 February, followed by Perth between Tuesday 20 - Saturday 24 February, Sydney on Thursday 1 and Friday 2 March, Canberra on Monday 19 March, Melbourne on Tuesday 27 March and Brisbane on Thursday 29 March.

Patrons should contact their place of purchase to change tickets for the new show dates; all VIP and reserved seating will be honoured. A full refund is available from the point of purchase if patrons cannot attend the show on the rescheduled date.

Week two of the re-invigorated #CBB UK household has begun. Ratings continue to climb as fans comment on how the 2018 house has enabled conversations about gender and sexuality that have, until now proven very difficult to talk about on other formats.

Since being in the House, Courtney (AKA Shane Jenek) has started discussions with Tory MP Ann Widdecombe about gay rights and LGBTQI votes in parliament and Ann's voting record, reassured India Willoughby that she's happy to talk about her fear of drag queens, and talked through her understanding of gender and sexuality using the Kinsey Scale.

Courtney has been in and out of the house with the three hours of make-up providing a chance for Shane to talk through what drag means to him. Before he went into the house Shane set up a series of youtube videos in which Courtney runs through some of her favourite 'Courtney Facts' - the most recent post was 'You Are Not Your Likes'.

In Courtney's new show Under the Covers, which will tour Australia from next month, she will dazzle with songs by some of our favourite artists that have all been covered in some way. She strips songs down and flips them on their back to show audiences just how gender and genre fluid a great song can be. From Dolly Parton to Harry Styles and Spice Girls to Queen, Courtney will leave you pillow fighting and pillow biting!

Courtney Act burst on the scene in 2003 as the self-described first openly queer and gender diverse contestant on Australian Idol. Since then, Courtney has toured North America, the UK and Europe, Brazil, Asia and Australia with her political series American Act and her cabaret The Girl from Oz. She was voted FHM's World's Top 100 Sexiest Women and Fader Magazine's "Ten People to Watch".

Courtney Act breaks the rules and lives life on the gender divide. She's a pop star in the making for the new generation that is beyond labels. See Courtney "under the covers" during her 2018 Australian tour

VIP Experience Tickets includes seating in the front three rows, a signed tour poster and a Meet & Greet with Courtney Act herself.
