CAUGHT IN THE ACT-PROVINCETOWN

If you've been to Provincetown before , then you know that the Art House gets some prime entertainment.Later this summer when I go, I'll have the privilege to see the blond bombshell, Courtney Act, who is bringing her hit cabaret show, Boys Like Me, to Provincetown, and will perform every Tuesday-Thursday from July 14 thru August 20th. Get ready to laugh and connect with Courtney as you are taken on a journey through her adventurous love life! 

 

 Once upon a time, Sydney boy Shane Jenek tried out for Australian Idol. Not quite making the cut he wasn’t discouraged, Shane bent the rules and his gender, returning the next day as Courtney Act, and made it through to the finals. Courtney’s explosive, energetic performing style, coupled with her joyous personality, sent audiences wild and Australia had a new, slightly less conventional, sweetheart. Hot on the high heels of the TV series came the phenomenally successful national arena tour and a record deal with Sony.

 

 

 Over the coming years Courtney forged herself a name in the Australian entertainment industry, garnering chart hits, television appearances, and national advertising campaigns, and she toured Australia, Europe, Asia and America. She was even voted one FHM’s World’s Top 100 Sexiest Women (despite not actually being a woman), sang at Lady Gaga’s private birthday party, and opened for Gaga on her Australian club tour. She’s played the role of Angel in RENT the musical and she’s been the face of Sheer Cover makeup across the three major TV networks selling makeup to the women of Australia on morning television. She’s no Joan of Arc, but it is pretty revolutionary having a female illusionist, selling the illusion of beauty to females. And unless under a rock, you'll know she placed top three on RuPauls Drag Race. If you plan to be in Provincetown during this period, get out and check her out, she is so beautiful to watch, and so sweet....her show is pretty entertaining. Tickets here.
