Coming Out

TV Star Jonathan Van Ness Keeps It Real At Fillmore

by

Jonathan Van Ness is one funny guy. From Netflix’s “Queer Eye” to the podcast “Gay of Thrones,” he knows how to deliver a punchline.

He’ll bring his humor – along with that gorgeous mane – to the Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater on Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. as part of his Road to Beijing tour.

“Jonathan Van Ness has become known in the entertainment industry for his fabulous, unstoppable energy. Now, he brings that energy to the stand-up stage with an unforgettable live show, serving cirque-du-so-gay-realness between stand-up sets so good your face will be in need of a massage from all the smiling,” notes the venue’s website. “It’s all inspired by his ongoing attempt and lifelong obsession to become a figure-skating prodigy in time for the next Olympic cycle, which happens to be in 2022 in Beijing!”

But forgive Van Ness if he takes a moment for a serious chat.

His revealing new book, “Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love,” recently came out – along with the announcement that he is HIV-positive. 

“I wanted to do something to move the conversation forward in a meaningful way around HIV/AIDS and what it is to live with HIV and to humanize and normalize a lot of the things I talk about,” he told The Guardian

A promo for the book notes: “‘Over the Top’ uncovers the pain and passion it took to end up becoming the model of self-love and acceptance that Jonathan is today. In this revelatory, raw and rambunctious memoir, Jonathan shares never-before-told secrets and reveals sides of himself that the public has never seen.” O
