Storyteller/Comedian Randy Ross

Randy Ross is a Boston-area novelist, storyteller, and comedian. His one-man shows have been featured at libraries, youth hostels, senior centers, and more than 30 fringe theater festivals around the U.S., Canada, and Edinburgh, Scotland.

In 2007, he took a trip around the world and learned to say in three languages: "Speak English?" "Got Pepto-Bismol?" and "Send the evacuation helicopter." Two of his shows were inspired by the trip.

Current Shows:

"Tales of a Reluctant World Traveler" (PG-13)

Sixteen weeks, four continents, three bungee jumps, and Randy Ross couldn't come home soon enough. This is the story of how a Boston homebody turned a solo trip around the globe into a comedy novel and an acclaimed one-man show. A must-see for book lovers, travelers, writers, whiners, kvetches, and misanthropes.

"How Much Can You Change for Someone You Love?" (PG-13)

In this multimedia performance, Randy Ross presents the wonders and woes of contemporary romance. The show explores the fluid nature of intimacy, independence, and bodily functions, while offering a unique take on personal change and committed relationships – they're not for everyone and that's OK.
