Jeff Ross, a comedian known for his biting wit and sharp tongue, found himself on the receiving end of some harsh jokes when he was hospitalized after an allergic reaction to eating ice cream.

The Incident
On Sunday, April 6, Ross shared a series of photos on Instagram of himself sitting in a hospital bed, along with a snapshot of the ‘burrata ice cream’ that landed him there. According to ‘Ross,’ he and his band were celebrating after a performance of his one-man show, ‘Take a Banana for the Ride,’ when he started feeling ill and his face began to swell up.
A First-Time Reaction
Ross revealed that it was his first allergic reaction ever, and he couldn’t help but joke about it. Despite how delicious the dessert tasted, his lips quickly ‘blew up’ and he ended up in a nearby emergency room, where he spent an entire night.
Recovery and Return to Work
Thankfully, Ross is on the mend and promises to be back on stage tonight. He shared a photo of himself with a swollen face, jokingly referring to it as looking like ‘Mickey Rourke at the end of ‘The Wrestler”. Despite his condition, Ross vowed to take a nap and return to work.
Celebrity Reactions
Several celebrity friends chimed in underneath Ross’s post to wish him a good recovery and roast him, just a little bit. ‘Joey Fatone’ commented, saying he was always happy to be Ross’s chunk, while ‘Kelly Rizzo’ wrote that she couldn’t even notice the difference between his face before and after the reaction.
A Roast Master General
Outside of his one-man show, Ross has been busy over the last year, appearing in multiple roasts. He made headlines for a quip about New England Patriots owner ‘Robert Kraft’ during ‘The Roast of Tom Brady,’ which ‘Brady’ didn’t seem to like.
