In the new solo show, Ross offers audiences insight into his life as America鈥檚 Roastmaster. 鈥淓ver since my Aunt Bess took me to see Jackie Mason on Broadway when I was young, I鈥檝e daydreamed about performing my own classy and uncensored one-man show,鈥� says Ross in a statement. 鈥淚鈥檓 honored and excited by the opportunity to share my origin story of how I became the motherf*n Roastmaster General! This new show is designed to be a cathartic experience shared with others鈥擨 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.鈥�
