LGBT celebrities Jonathan Van Ness and comedian Hannah Gadsby will be performing in separate shows at The Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St., during Pride Month (June).
Van Ness—a television personality (Queer Eye), Emmy nominee and celebrity hairstylist —will stop at The Chicago Theatre on Saturday, June 8, at 7 and 10 p.m. He will perform stand-up comedy while on his “Road to Beijing” national tour.
With “Hannah Gadsby: Douglas” (named after her dog), the Australian lesbian comedian discusses, among other things, her autism diagnosis, according to The New York Times. Last year, the release of a film version of Gadsby’s Netsflix stand-up show “Nanette” brought her to the attention of international audiences. Gadsby’s show will be Sunday, June 16, at 7:30 p.m.
