Friday, July 11, 2025 Doors open at 7PM.  Ross will exclusively tour this show on Hard Rock stages this summer before heading to Broadway.

Hot off the record-breaking success of his Emmy-nominated "GROAT (Greatest Roast of All Time): Tom Brady" for Netflix, Ross offers audiences a strikingly rare insight into his life with Take A Banana For The Ride, a hilarious and cathartic comedic experience about life and human resilience. Named for his beloved grandfather's practical and loving travel advice, 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. 

“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 Jeff Ross. “I’m honored and excited by the opportunity to share my origin story of how I became the Roastmaster General! This new show is designed to be a cathartic experience shared with others – I encourage you to bring friends that you care about, 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.”

Take A Banana For The Ride is produced by Eric Nederlander, Robert Nederlander Jr., Marc Cornstein, and Tony Eisenberg, with ShowTown Productions serving as Executive Producer. The Hard Rock International tour is presented in association with Live Nation.
