Roastmaster Jeff Ross Lands Venue For Broadway Summer Stand, Sets Opening Date
Emmy-nominated comedian Jeff Ross will bring his new theatrical solo show to Broadway's Nederlander Theatre this August.
Ross, known as The Roastmaster General for his three-decade run of celebrity roasts, will provide what the Banana synopsis says is “a strikingly rare insight into his life, and that Take A Banana For The Ride is named “for his beloved grandfather’s practical and loving travel advice.” Continues the synopsis, “this exhilaratingly intimate one-man show offers a peeled back look into the heart and soul of America’s Roastmaster – but don’t expect to get away un-skewered.” Take A Banana For The Ride will be directed on Broadway by Stephen Kessler, with creative consultation by Jeff Calhoun, and dramaturgy by Seth Barrish. “Ever since my Aunt Bess took me to see Jackie Mason on Broadway when I was young, I’ve daydreamed about performing my own classy and uncensored one-man show,” said Ross in a statement.
