Jeff Ross suffers allergic reaction

As America’s king of the roast, he seems bulletproof, but Jeff Ross was laid low this weekend… by ice-cream

The comedian spent the night in hospital after suffering an unexpected allergic reaction to the treat after a gig in California.

He  shared photos of himself in a hospital bed with a swollen lip, explains that after his gig ‘me and the band celebrated with some Bur[r]ata ice cream at a restaurant down the street courtesy of the nice owner.

‘It was delicious. Seriously yummy. But my lips blew up and I spent the entire night in the ER.

’t 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.

Ross 59,  thanked the medical staff at Marin Medical Health Center in Greenbrae, north of San Francisco, for their treatment and ‘for only roasting me lightly.’
