What happened to Jeff Ross during his tour?

Comedian Jeff Ross, 59, shared a series of photos on Instagram on Sunday, April 6, from his hospital bed, along with a picture of the ice cream that led to his hospitalization.

Ross explained that he and his band were celebrating after a performance during his one-man show, 'Take a Banana for the Ride', in Mill Valley, California, when he began feeling ill and noticed that his face was swelling up, per People.

"ROAST ME. TONIGHT’S SHOW NEAR SAN FRANCISCO MUST GO ON !" he began his post.

He went on to describe the evening, saying, "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. It was delicious. Seriously yummy."

Despite the ice cream’s great taste, Ross’ lips quickly "blew up", prompting a trip to a nearby emergency room, where he spent the night.

Ross, who has done several celebrity roasts, including Netflix's 2024 'The Roast of Tom Brady', continued, "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. Thank you to the overnight shift at MarinHealth Medical Center for only roasting me a lightly."

He then announced, "DESPITE LOOKING LIKE MICKEY ROURKE at the end of “The Wrestler”… I WILL BE TAKING A NAP AND BACK ON STAGE HERE IN MILL VALLEY NEAR SAN FRANCISCO AT 730pm TONIGHT. 🍌🍌🍌"
