The outing was also date night for couples like Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney, Ice-T and Coco Austin, Carson Daly and Siri Daly, Mark Ronson and Grace Gummer and John Stamos and Caitlin McHugh.

Stamos’ Full House costar Lori Loughlin was there, too, with daughter Isabella “Bella” Rose.

Jeff Ross: Take a Banana for the Ride — named after Ross’ grandfather’s practical and loving travel advice — peels back the curtain on the 59-year-old’s life, from his childhood in New Jersey to his rise in the comedy world and his placement as America’s Roastmaster General.

The show is easily the funniest night one will have on Broadway this season, with punchline after punchline packed into the 90-minute affair. It even ends with Ross walking through the audience and roasting any brave volunteers.

But it’s always an incredible personal show, that allows theatergoers to see the heart behind Ross’ humor. The Emmy-nominee gets candid about how he’s navigated the hurtles life’s thrown him, including losing both of his parents at a young age, being diagnosed with alopecia and colon cancer, and experiencing the sudden deaths of three of his closest friends: Norm Macdonald, Gilbert Gottfried and Bob Saget.

Ultimately, the jokester proves he’s more than a Roastmaster — he’s a storyteller with bite. Comedic and cathartic, he’s structured an evening where audiences will laugh, they’ll cry, and then they’ll cry from laughing.

Perhaps Kimmel put it best when Ross workshopped Jeff Ross: Take a Banana for the Ride at the 2024 Netflix Is a Joke Festival: “This beautiful show unveils a side of Jeff you will not forget.”

Tickets for Jeff Ross: Take a Banana for the Ride are now on sale. Stephen Kessler (Vegas Vacation, Paul Williams: Still Alive) directs, with creative consultation by Jeff Calhoun and dramaturgy by Seth Barrish.
