Courtney Act is one of the world’s most distinctive and versatile entertainment talents, with an established profile across the globe.

Courtney first captured the attention of UK audiences in 2018 when she won Celebrity Big Brother, becoming one of the series’ most memorable and celebrated winners. Her appearance brought conversations around gender identity, sexuality and inclusivity into millions of homes, showcasing her unique ability to combine entertainment, intelligence and cultural impact.

Following her success, Courtney hosted The Bi Life on E!, the UK’s first bisexual dating show, and fronted The Courtney Act Show, a Christmas variety special for Channel 4. She has continued to build her British profile through television, live performance and theatre, establishing herself as a compelling personality for both mainstream and LGBTQ+ audiences.

Internationally, Courtney rose to global prominence on the sixth season of the Emmy Award-winning RuPaul’s Drag Race, finishing in the top three alongside Bianca Del Rio and Adore Delano. She went on to make history on the Dancing with the Stars franchise, becoming the first celebrity to dance with a same-sex partner.

Courtney’s relationship with the UK entertainment industry extends to the stage. She made her West End debut as Shazza in Death Drop, performed in UK pantomime as the Blue Faerie in Pinocchio, and has brought her acclaimed live shows, The Girl from Oz and Under the Covers, to audiences across the UK and internationally, including sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Beyond performance, Courtney is an accomplished broadcaster, author and advocate. Her memoir, Caught in the Act, became a bestseller, while her podcast, Brenda, Call Me, showcases her sharp wit, warmth and ability to engage audiences in meaningful conversations. She is also the author of Confetti, her first children’s book, celebrating the beauty of Australia’s flora.

With a career spanning television, theatre, music, live entertainment and advocacy, Courtney offers a rare combination of mainstream recognition, international credibility and a distinctive personal brand.
