JEFF ROSS: TAKE A BANANA FOR THE RIDE at Nederlander Theatre

Hot off the record-breaking success of his Emmy-nominated “GROAT (Greatest Roast of All Time): Tom Brady” for Netflix, 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 resilience. Named for his beloved grandfather’s practical and loving travel advice, the 90-minute, exhilaratingly intimate performance is the result of a 30-year journey in comedy: a cathartic mix of touching family stories, dangerous jokes, 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. Directed by Stephen Kessler, with creative consultation by Jeff Calhoun, and dramaturgy by Seth Barrish.
