About Jeff

Jeff Ross (AKA “Roastmaster General”) is a one-man verbal assault unit.  For years, his name has been synonymous with Roasting. As a staple on the COMEDY CENTRAL ROASTS, Jeff has anchored the roasts of the industry’s most famous people including Tom Brady, Justin Bieber, Alec Baldwin, Joan Rivers, Bruce Willis, James Franco, Charlie Sheen, and former President Donald Trump.

His new one man show, “Take a Banana For the Ride,” recently made its Broadway debut at the world famous Nederlander Theatre to rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. The New York Times called it "“Wilfully upbeat, and very funny! A gentle, tough-guy solo show, that is at once both brash and sentimental.”  Jeff's Broadway show will make its Netflix debut this spring. 

Jeff also appeared in the Peter Farrelly movie, Ricky Stanicky for Amazon starring Zac Efron and John Cena. His television projects include ROAST BATTLE for Comedy Central, a series which Ross produced and starred for three seasons. ROAST BATTLE has become an international phenomenon with markets including England, Germany, Canada and South Africa producing their own versions.  Ross also starred in the 3-episode comedy special BUMPING MICS with Dave Attell for Netflix. This rapid-fire, two-man stand up series has a joke-per-minute ratio and if you’re lucky you can catch it live at The Comedy Cellar in New York City. Ross also produced and starred in TORCHING 2024 for Netflix, as well as six episodes of HISTORICAL ROASTS, a Netflix series which roasted some of the most important figures in history including Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, and Cleopatra.

Jeff's has also used comedy specials to turn roasting into social commentary. With JEFF ROSS ROASTS CRIMINALS, JEFF ROSS ROASTS COPS, AND JEFF ROSS ROASTS THE BORDER, Jeff has shed light on some of the more polarizing political issues of our time. These specials have taken him to a maximum security prison, the Boston Police Department, and both sides of the Mexican border.

Jeff continues to tour the country doing stand-up and bringing his own brand of speed-roasting to audiences both stateside and abroad.
