Jeff Ross's new solo show, 'Take a Banana for the Ride,' now running at the Nederlander Theater, explores themes of mortality, grief, and resilience through the lens of comedy. Inspired by the loss of close friends and his own recent battle with cancer, Ross blends heartfelt reminiscence with his trademark brash humor, sharing stories of his family, childhood, and the wisdom of his grandfather, who inspired the show's title. The performance is a mix of vulnerability and sharp wit, with Ross offering comfort and camaraderie to those who have faced hardship, while still delivering the biting crowd work for which he is known. The show is both a tribute to loved ones lost and a testament to finding laughter in life's darkest moments.
