Comedian Jeff Ross is bringing new solo show ‘Take A Banana For The Ride’ to Orlando

Local comedy fans will be among the first to see this new show this summer before it premiers on Broadway.

Emmy-nominated comedian Jeff Ross brings his new theatrical solo show Take A Banana For The Ride to the stage at Hard Rock Live Orlando on Friday, July 25, 2025 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.”

Tickets for the Orlando show are on sale Friday, April 25 at 10 am.
