The comedian revealed in an Instagram post that he'd spent the night in the ER after having his "first allergic reaction ever" to burrata ice cream.

Insult comic Jeff Ross revealed he had a medical emergency after a show Saturday night that resulted in a trip to the ER. However, he assured fans the show must go on despite "looking like Mickey Rourke at the end of The Wrestler."

Ross recounted the ordeal on Instagram, showing his swollen lip taking over his face from eating burrata ice cream after his Take a Banana for the Ride show in Mill Valley, California, near San Francisco.


"Me and the band celebrated with some Burata ice cream at a restaurant down the street courtesy of the nice owner," he said, and described the creamy dessert as "delicious" and "seriously yummy."

Unfortunately, his body didn't take it well.

The 59-year-old continued:

"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."

The carousel of photos included his close-up with a puffed-up lip, the tasty culprit that inflicted his misery, Ross lying in a hospital bed, and him standing in front of the 142 Throckmorton Theatre under a marquee bearing his name.


"Thank you to the overnight shift at MarinHealth Medical Center for only roasting me a lightly," he wrote and promised he would be back onstage on Sunday night after taking a nap.

The Roastmaster General asked followers in turn to "ROAST ME" before explaining what he suffered through, and fans and colleagues ruthlessly obliged to hilarious effect.

On Monday, he took the medical scare in stride and demonstrated his wit was still intact.

He updated fans with a series of puns mocking the situation.

"I know you all want the inside scoop about my allergy attack but it’s been a rocky road and it really ruined my sundae and I’m so pistachiod off because now I need ozempic for my lips," he wrote in the comments.

Laughter truly is the best medicine.

Elon Musk Dragged After Programming Grok To Claim He's 'More Fit' Than LeBron James

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after X users discovered he'd programmed his AI chatbot Grok to praise his physique by saying he's "fitter than" basketball star LeBron James.

Musk is actually on record saying that he wouldn't exercise if he could, that he's not been consistent meeting with his personal trainer, and that he would "rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life." But to hear Grok tell it, Musk is more fit than one of the top basketball players on the planet—and smarter than some of humanity's greatest minds.
