Van Ness is also eager to use his platform as a voice for change and acceptance. As prominent supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, he has worked with both Planned Parenthood and The Trevor Project on campaigns to combat bullying and diminish the stigma that coincides with talking about sexual health.
In 2020, he won a GLAAD Media Award for his appearance on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he discussed living with HIV and the steps he took to combat stigmatisation.
Tickets for his Belfast show go on sale Friday at 10am via Ticketmaster.ie or Ulsterhall.co.uk
