Andy Cohen is coming to Miami Book Fair this year: Here’s how to get free tickets

Andy Cohen is coming to Miami Book Fair.

The host and executive producer of Bravo’s late night talk show “Watch What Happens Live” was originally scheduled to join the fair virtually, but he has decided to show up in person instead. He’ll talk about his new book “Glitter Every Day: 365 Quotes from Women I Love” at the fair, which runs Nov. 14-21 at Miami Dade College’s downtown Wolfson campus and online.

Mendez says the fair is thrilled that Cohen, who appeared at the event a few years ago, decided to come in person.

“He had a really great turnout last time he was here, and he started feeling more comfortabl­e about being out on the road and coming to Miami, where he knows us and has a great fan base,” she said. “I think he just likes connecting to his fans. He was very outgoing last time, and we’re happy to have him back.”

Cohen is scheduled to appear at 4 p.m. Nov. 20, and the event is free (though you will need to buy a ticket to the street fair to get in). You will also need a free ticket for all author events, however, and they are likely to be in short supply because the fair is limiting the number of people in its venues to observe social distancing.

If you want to reserve tickets now, your best bet is to become a Friend of the Fair. Otherwise you can try to get them with the rest of the general public on Nov. 3.

The fair kicks off Nov. 14 with Amor Towles, who will talk about his novel “The Lincoln Highway.”
