Comedian Jeff Ross got the surprise of a lifetime after suffering an allergic reaction that landed him in the emergency room.
On Sunday, the famous roaster, 59, revealed in an Instagram post that he had to go to the hospital after eating burrata ice cream following his show “Take a Banana for the Ride” in Mill Valley, California the night before.
“ROAST ME. TONIGHT’S SHOW NEAR SAN FRANCISCO MUST GO ON!” he captioned his post, which included pictures of him showing off his swollen lip while laying down in a hospital bed as well as the ice cream in question.
“Had such a fun opening night performance of @takeabananafortheride up here in Mill Valley, California @throckmortontheatre,” Ross continued. “Afterwards, me and the band celebrated with some burrata ice cream at a restaurant down the street courtesy of the nice owner. It was delicious. Seriously yummy.”
The stand-up comedian said his lips “blew up” after enjoying the sweet treat before noting the shocking incident was his “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,” he teased. “Thank you to the overnight shift at MarinHealth Medical Center for only roasting me a lightly,”
Ross then shared that he would be hitting the stage again tonight despite his medical emergency.
“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,” he added.
