Vinny Guadagnino’s COVID-19 Complications Put Future Chippendales Performances on Hold
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Vinny Guadagnino recently posted about having the coronavirus (COVID-19) “a few weeks ago,” but the Chippendales stripper is still experiencing adverse effects. Find out what this means for Vinny’s future performances at Chippendales.
Vinny returned to Chippendales in spring 2022
At this point, Vinny is another member of the Chippendales cast. The reality TV star has had multiple residencies at the famous Las Vegas male revue, including two this year.
In February 2022, the Jersey Shore star took to Instagram to reveal new dates for his residency. “I’M BACKKKKKK BABY!” Vinny posted on Feb. 11. “COVID shut down my 3rd residency, but we are back and getting more lit than ever in Vegas! Book your tix now for the best party on the strip.” Vinny performed on weekends from Mar. 11 to Apr. 10.
According to Broadway World, Vinny had another six-week engagement lined up, kicking off Memorial Day Weekend and running through the Fourth of July. However, the aftermath of the reality star’s recent diagnosis changed those plans.

‘Jersey Shore’ fans sympathize with the ‘Keto Guido’
Vinny’s fans took to Reddit to discuss his post. “… I hope he gets better,” writes one Reddit user. “Covid can definitely have lasting effects well after you get better. …. Hopefully, he can resume a normal life soon.”
“I can already hear Pauly [DelVecchio] shouting ‘Vinny’s got Long COVID, yeah!’ over and over and over again…” said another Redditor. Another comment reads:
“All jokes aside about Vinny this virus is no joke. He’s healthy and fit but long COVID can get anyone, especially in the heart. Or any other vital organ really, super scary! Really hope he’s ok!”
