2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Courtney Act: The Girl From Oz
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).
