Ep. 52 feat. Jeff Ross Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

This week I am joined by Roastmaster general extraordinaire and Jersey native, Jeff Ross! We pull back the curtain on the world of roast comedy and how Jeff has found the delicate balance between comedy and offense. We get his take on “cancel culture” and how comedians gotta understand their role and not let this culture shift who they are. Jeff attributes a lot of how he is to his Jersey roots and having to have tough skin. As expected, we get nothing short of razor-sharp wit flavored with stories upon stories! Tap in!
