Emmy-nominated comedian Jeff Ross will make his Broadway debut this summer with his new theatrical one-man show, “Take a Banana for the Ride,” at the Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41st Street). The show is set to begin previews on Tuesday, August 5 for an eight-week limited engagement through Sunday, September 29.
The show will be directed by Stephen Kessler, with creative consultation by Jeff Calhoun, and dramaturgy by Seth Barrish.
“I’m honored and excited by the opportunity to share my origin story of how I became the Roastmaster General!,” says Ross, referring to his hosting of celebrity-oriented comedy specials. “This new show is designed to be a cathartic experience shared with others. I encourage you to bring friends that you care about, and people that might be going through tough times. I will shake them out of it with an evening of uncensored jokes, uplifting stories, songs and even some live roasting of the bravest volunteers.”
Tickets for “Take A Banana for the Ride” are on sale now at BroadwayDirect.com. For more information, visit JeffRossBroadway.com.
