ABC’s interview program
One Plus One returns this week for a new series of in-depth interviews. The format remains the same, exploring an overarching theme around a select group of interviewees, but this season’s host is Australia’s most famous drag performer, Courtney Act.
The alter-ago – or “extension” – of Shane Jenek, Courtney chose this season’s five interviewees and while she sits in the interviewer chair fully frocked and made-up, there’s no reference made to drag, or the fact that Courtney is a ‘character’.
