Jeff Ross is recovering after being rushed to the hospital to treat his first-ever allergic reaction.
The comedian, also known as the Roastmaster General, shared his negative experience with an ice cream treat on social media, along with a photo of the aftermath—a swollen lip.
“ROAST ME. TONIGHT’S SHOW NEAR SAN FRANCISCO MUST GO ON!” the 59-year-old wrote on his Instagram April 6. “Had such a fun opening night performance of @takeabananafortheride up here in Mill Valley, California @throckmortontheatre. Afterwards, me and the band celebrated with some Burata ice cream at a restaurant down the street courtesy of the nice owner.”
Ross—who performed on many of Comedy Central’s celebrity roasts and on Netflix’s 2024 The Roast of Tom Brady—continued, “It was delicious. Seriously yummy. But my lips blew up and I spent the entire night in the ER. It was my first allergic reaction ever. I guess that’s pretty remarkable considering I’m constantly shoving whatever food is in front of me into my face.”
