73 - Courtney Act: From The Werkroom To The World Stage

We're joined by a global drag superstar, a singer, a writer and a reality TV legend – the one and only Courtney Act is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!

From making the Australian Idol semi-finals to snatching the win on Celebrity Big Brother UK and reaching the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Courtney has truly done it all – while using her platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights, gender conversations and authenticity.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Courtney talk about drag as both art and activism, the lessons learned from reality TV and what it means to grow up queer in the spotlight.

They also dive into the joy of pop culture nostalgia, their shared love of sci-fi and fantasy worlds and why vulnerability might be drag’s most radical act.

Plus - Courtney reveals the TV role she’d most love to play, and Tia pitches an all-drag version of Neighbours (you’ll want to hear this one).
