What is the Jeff Ross Broadway show about?

This hilarious one-man show is the culmination of three decades in comedy and is a masterclass in laughing through the tears. Touching on the irony of a Jewish comedian owning a German dog, heartwarming family stories (like the travel advice from Ross' grandpa that forms the title of the show!) and the importance of resilience and humour in the tough times, Ross combines his trademark edgy humour - they don’t call him the “Roastmaster General” for nothing - into a cathartic show with plenty of heart. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll hum the songs all the way home. This is Jeff Ross as you’ve never seen him before - reflective, raw, but always riotously funny.

Take a Banana for the Ride was first workshopped as part of Netflix’s 2024 Netflix is a Joke festival to critical acclaim. Comedian and Late Night Host Jimmy Kimmel said of the special, “...this beautiful show unveils a side of Jeff you will not forget”. The show will perform in eight cities before landing on Broadway for a strictly limited run. Secure your tickets today!
