'Gay Pimp' Jonny McGovern to Perform at Stonewall Summer Pride

Chris Sosa READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1975 Jonny McGovern has traveled the world from Thailand to Egypt and back to Boston. When he was just 18 years old, he began his music and comedy career in New York City, writing comedy acts for the stage and shows. In 2002 he began writing a piece based off of Eminem as a protest piece, "The Wrong Fag to Fuck With" and 'The Gay Pimp' was born.

In 2003, Soccer Practice was produced and went viral, email style all over the world, yes this was before YouTube made everything possible. Shortly there after in 2004 "Dirty Gay Hits" was created and began touring the hottest nightclubs in the USA and abroad. The R&B comedic style of music brings not only gay fans but teens and housewives from around world viewing the ever popular videos and coming to shows at Pride events around the globe.

Jonny's favorite thing about being an Out & Proud music artist and comedian is over the past 10 years of his career, he has helped countless members of the LGBT community work through their struggles of coming out and being gay. He performs at countless events and shows at GLCC's and Pride Centers around the world, hoping to help give back to the LGBT community as much as possible.

In February 2012, The Gayest of All Times was released and is currently on World Tour. The current single "Hash Tag T.O.T.D.F" is a fantasy of the gayest night in one big dance venue as a Pride Anthem to help unify the community. The record was created by the help of his fans who raised more than $18,000. The album has everything from music to start your night, to after the party music. Featuring songs like "Sexy Nerd" and "Dickmatized" this is by far Jonny's favorite album to date.

So with a big South Florida and Wilton Manors welcome, please join Jonny at Stonewall Summer Pride where he will perform his greatest hits and the new ones. He's even bringing cast members from his videos to help put on a show that Stonewall Pride is sure to remember. For more information and to download his newest visit www.GayPimp.com or iTunes.
