Queer Eye fans will agree there’s never a dull moment when Jonathan Van Ness is on-screen. The Netflix show’s 2018 reboot relaunched with Bobby Berk, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan, and Karamo Brown as The Fab Five. While the show’s experts are busy transforming Heroes’ lives, they’re also fulfilling their own personal dreams as they head into Queer Eye season 8.
Jonathan Van Ness, 36, is arguably sunshine in human form and he’s spreading joy through his very own comedy tour these days. The Queer Eye star is always on hand to give the show’s participants the makeover of their dreams. Many of the Heroes have a hard time feeling confident in their own skin but surely enough JVN can work his magic and have them feeling themselves in no time. This January, the Netflix star shares on Instagram how he’s spent some time having to face his own fears in life, too.

Queer Eye Jonathan’s comedy career
The Fab Five are celebrating Queer Eye’s success this January with another Emmy win.
After coaching Deli Dan and co, last season, the Netflix show is set to return to New Orleans for season 8 on January 24.
Outside of Queer Eye, the Fab Five have been enjoying personal projects including Karamo renewing his chat show. Prior to becoming Netflix stars, the experts all had different careers including Karamo spending 10 years as a social worker.
Jonathan Van Ness is also spreading his wings outside of the show as he embarks on a world comedy tour. However, his journey into stand-up wasn’t plain sailing.
Jonathan thanks Margaret Cho
Taking to Instagram this January, Jonathan took a moment to thank stand-up comedian Margaret Cho, 55, for inspiring him to follow his passions.
Captioning the post: “Get out of your head and do that thing that scares you. Thank you Margaret Cho,” JVN shared a photo slider explaining how he was encouraged to get into the world of comedy.
The 36-year-old wrote how he worked with Margaret in 2014 doing her hair adding she often told him he should get into comedy, but he “never thought it was something he could do.”
Jonathan explained he was “scared to hold the mic” when Margaret “graciously” brought him on stage during one of her shows.
He added he later “pushed through fears” and did a stand-up show of his own in LA.
Now, the Netflix star is onto the third leg of his world comedy tour and says he’s “bringing joy to people,” “helping them celebrate themselves” and also gets to “celebrate himself” at the same time.
