Courtney Act combines humour, immense vocal talent and ingenuity with a vulnerability that can reach and relate to so many people. I felt a lump in my throat as she sang her mash up of If I Were a Boy/Girls Just Wanna have fun. This felt like an important show that had such entertainment value.

She is great. Very enjoyable drag act which is surprisingly family friendly: she feels a bit like the leading flag waver for 'mainstream drag is for everyone' movement which I have no problem with.
My favourite part is where she sings a duet to 'If I was a boy' by Beyonce... with herself. It was cliched... a bit try hard... and absolutely glorious.
This would be a great introduction to drag if you haven't really experienced it before and Courtney Really is a consummate performer.

Courtney is amazing, what a voice and what a show, funny, honest and just a great night. Defintely worth the ticket prices. Even a meet and greet is included if you pre buy her merchandise.

With intimate discussion and bold...
