Jeff Ross
Stand-Up Comedian, Actor, Director & Producer

JEFF ROSS is a writer, actor and comedian known worldwide as The Roastmaster General. His one-man musical play “Take a Banana For the Ride,” which he calls “a cathartic, comedic experience” about love, loss, and human resilience, just wrapped up an 8 week run on Broadway at the legendary Nederlander Theatre and will be heading to Netflix soon. Jeff recently partnered with sports legend Tom Brady to produce “GROAT (The Greatest Roast of All Time)," which streamed live on Netflix May 5, 2024. He has also spearheaded the wildly popular celebrity roasts of Justin Bieber, Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis, James Franco, Charlie Sheen, William Shatner, Flava Flav, Donald Trump, and many others.
Jeff has used his stand-up comedy specials to shine a light on social issues he cares about - now streaming on Paramount Plus are “Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals” (filmed in a maximum security jail in Texas), “Jeff Ross Roasts Cops” (centering around Black Lives Matter and the Boston Police Department), and “Jeff Ross Roasts The Border” (filmed on both sides of the Mexican border fence in the Rio Grande Valley).
Jeff constantly supports and fundraises for causes he cares about such as The U.S.O., Meals On Wheels America, Planned Parenthood, The Scleroderma Research Foundation, the EB Research Partnership, Stand Up For Heroes, American Friends Of The Hebrew University, Comedy Gives Back, and others.
