About this listen

Boy, girl, artist, advocate. Courtney is more than the sum of her parts.

Meet Shane Jenek. Raised in the Brisbane suburbs by loving parents, Shane realises from a young age that he's not like all the other boys. At a performing arts agency, he discovers his passion for song, dance and performance, and makes a promise to himself: to find a bigger stage.

Meet Courtney Act. Born in Sydney around the turn of the millennium, Courtney makes her name in the gay bars of Oxford Street and then on Australian Idol. Over ten years later, she makes star turns on RuPaul's Drag Race and Celebrity Big Brother UK, bringing her unique take on drag and gender to the world.

Behind this rise to national and global fame is a story of searching for and finding oneself. Most of all, it’s a bloody good time.

A great listen and a fantastic story. There was ups and downs and random antidotes throughout, Courtney / Shane lays their life bare for all to see. Thank you for a great autobiography. As you can tell from my review, I am not great at writing them.

Did not want to stop listening.

I saw Courtney act perform 18 years ago in Sydney loved her.

I do find her rather preachy though.

Long time fan

I absolutely loved this book! As a storyteller Courtney is so animated, it's a joy to listen to. It really strikes a balance between being informative, giving a glimpse into Shane's journey through gender identity, being hilarious, and giving a real insight into his life, history and upbringing. It's a must read!

Fabulous, funny and heart warming

A fantastic book written by a wonderful, lovely person. I couldn't wait for the next installment and I am now gutted it's finished. Thank you

Truthful, heart felt, funny and just brilliant.

Just when I thought I couldn't adore Shane/Courtney anymore ...I laughed and cried , sometimes at the same time.
Don't walk , run. I was hooked from the first sentence.
