While known for his impeccable grooming and lovable, positive persona, JVN has had his sights set on trying stand-up comedy, and Hotels.com helped him achieve his dream by supporting him on the road for a 10-night tour. From Brooklyn and Washington D.C. to Seattle and Kansas City, JVN brought his cheeky humor, heels and pop culture (1990s figure skating and gymnastics fans, rejoice!) commentary to the stage, giving audiences a reason to laugh and (happy) cry. After each gig, cameras followed JVN to his hotel room to reflect on his performance behind the curtain to see the good, the bad and the gorgeousness.

"Hitting the road with Hotels.com-edy (get it?!) on this tour was a really cute experience for me. I mean, who gets the chance to pursue their dreams while staying in gorg hotels? I learned a lot about myself as a comic, and I'm so excited to continue on this creative process," said Van Ness. "The audiences were stun, and I'm so happy making people laugh and feel good."

Just as Hotels.com rewards its customers with a free* night after 10 nights stayed, the brand celebrated the 10-night tour by rewarding JVN fans with tickets to attend a special "Reward Night Premiere Party" at 1 Hotels Brooklyn Bridge on Nov. 5. Hosted by JVN, the event featured a screening of the first episodes of the series.

"We are thrilled to share our first Hotels.comedy web series with JVN fans. He's constantly promoting positivity and cheering on people on his show. This was an awesome opportunity for us to return those good vibes to him and make sure he was taken care of in fabulous hotels while on the road and slaying his comedic dreams." said Katie Junod, General Manager of the Hotels.com brand in North America. "My advice for watching the series - grab some popcorn and a tissue box!"
