Story

Legendary comic Jeff Ross returns home for his long-awaited Broadway debut in Take a Banana for the Ride — a hilarious, heartfelt one-man show about laughing through the pain, the importance of having thick skin, and the vengeful pleasures of a Jewish comic owning a German dog. This 90-minute performance is the result of a 30-year journey in comedy: a cathartic mix of dangerous jokes, touching family stories, and songs that stay with you long after the curtain falls. No two shows are exactly alike, but each reveals the Roastmaster General at his most unguarded — raw, reflective, and ridiculously funny. It'll be your most emotional night at the theater since Mufasa died in The Lion King! (Oh no, did we ruin it?)

Jeff Ross delivers
"Jeff Ross’s new show covers the gamut of emotions. From the pains and laughter of growing up in New Jersey to Ross’s success as a roast-master to the passing of close relatives and friends, the show never loses its energy or sense of humor. But this is more than stand up comedy, Ross communicates to the audience on a much deeper level. Brilliantly directed by Steve Kessler whose visual and musical touches bring the stories and anecdotes to life. Way to go, Nutley!"

Jeff Ross is a survivor
"Jeff’s show is a remarkable autobiographical experience. Of course it is funny but also poignant and reflective. If his goal was to invoke the presence and memory of friends and family members who passed before him (while splitting our sides with laughter) then the show was a success beyond all measure. Go see it while you can. "

Pretty well done
"The funny parts were hilarious. The more somber parts went on a bit too long. But all in all I enjoyed it"
