Courtney Act is the stage name of Shane Jenek, an Australian drag celebrity, pop singer and entertainer. As Courtney Act, Jenek was a semi-finalist on Australian Idol in 2003 and was the third singer of the competition to release an official solo single, following Guy Sebastian and Shannon Noll.

The single, "Rub Me Wrong", was released in 2004, which peaked at #29 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Courtney Act, a pun on the phrase "caught in the act", is the stage name of "gender illusionist", Shane Jenek. Jenek auditioned for Australian Idol as himself but did not get beyond the selection auditions. Returning the next day as Courtney, he wowed the judges and went through to the semi-finals. Revealing impressive voice and singing talents as well as a stage presence considerably ahead of many of the other contestants, he continued until being finally voted off in thirteenth place. Courtney particularly impressed Judge Ian “Dicko” Dickson, who signed Jenek to the BMG label following the completion of the show. Jenek is a native of Brisbane.
