Courtney Act to Bring BOYS LIKE ME to Sydney Theatre, 25 Feb

Courtney Act - the nom de plume of gender illusionist, Shane Jenek - brings her hit cabaret show, Boys Like Me to Sydney Theatre for one night only on Tuesday 25 February, direct from sold out seasons in NYC and LA.

Courtney Act airs hysterical dirty laundry from her titillating sex life, including the angry text from that straight boy's girlfriend, the twins in Montreal and the US Marine, to name a few.

Courtney Act's dazzling career kicked off after she became a semi-finalist on Australian idol in 2003, leading to a national arena tour and record deal with SONY/BMG. Since then, she's opened for Lady Gaga (and sang at her birthday party), played Angel in Rent and been voted by FHM Magazine as one of the top 100 Sexiest Women in the world (despite being a bloke).

It has just been announced that Courtney Act, who was in the first series of Australian Idol in 2003, will appear on television in RuPaul's Drag Race early next year. To appear on this internationally viewed reality tv show is an huge privilege and acknowledgement of Courtney Act's professional standing in the entertainment business.

Boys Like Me showcases Courtney's observations of life on the gender divide, her journey through masculinity and femininity and how it manifests when boys like her.

Courtney Act appears at Sydney Theatre as part of a trio of shows for Mardi Gras. Following Courtney on the 25 February are Bob Downe (26 - 27 February) and Trevor Ashley (28 February).

Suitable for ages 15+
