Performances are officially underway for the new theatrical one-man show, Jeff Ross: TAKE A BANANA FOR THE RIDE. The new show will celebrate Opening Night on Monday, August 18 at the Nederlander Theatre. Check out photos of the new marquee!
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.
Take a Banana for the Ride is directed on Broadway by Stephen Kessler (Vegas Vacation, Paul Williams: Still Alive), with creative consultation by Jeff Calhoun (Newsies), dramaturgy by Seth Barrish (Mike Birbigilia: The Old Man & the Pool), and music direction by Asher Denburg. The show is produced by Eric Nederlander, Robert Nederlander Jr., Marc Cornstein, and Tony Eisenberg, with Showtown Productions serving as Executive Producer.
