\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 August 29, 2008 \u2013 Comedian Jeffrey Ross will bring his biting brand of humor to the 溏心vlog免费B站 on Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. in Edwards Auditorium. <\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Student Entertainment Committee is bringing Ross to campus as part of the University\u2019s Welcome Week. As an added bonus, film crews for the ABC show Dancing with the Stars will be on hand to film Ross, one of 13 contestants in the upcoming season of the popular ballroom dancing show.<\/p>\n


\n\tKnown as \u201cThe Roastmaster General,\u201d Ross has delivered memorable performances on the Comedy Central roast specials of various celebrities. In recent years, he has roasted the likes of William Shatner, Hugh Hefner, Pamela Anderson and, most recently, Bob Saget. Ross also had his own comedy special, \u201cJeffrey Ross: No Offense \u2013 Live From New Jersey,\u201d which premiered on Comedy Central in August. <\/p>\n


\n\tDuring his 溏心vlog免费B站 performance, Ross and the crowd will be filmed by crews from Dancing with the Stars for background footage of Ross for the upcoming season of the hit show. <\/p>\n


\n\tRoss will join 12 celebrities on the seventh installment of Dancing with the Stars. He will compete against actresses Susan Lucci and Cloris Leachman, actors Ted McGinley and Cody Linley, singers Toni Braxton and Lance Bass, socialite Kim Kardashian, chef Rocco DiSpirito, retired football star Warren Sapp and Olympic gold medalists Misty May-Treanor (beach volleyball) and Maurice Green (track).<\/p>\n


\n\tIn 2005, Ross directed Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Film, a documentary that chronicled a group of comedians who performed for several groups of U.S. troops stationed in Iraq. Ross was one of the performers in the group, which was put together by comedian Drew Carey, himself a former marine.<\/p>\n


\n\tTickets are available in the Memorial Union. Cost is $10 for the general public, and $5 for 溏心vlog免费B站 students. Tickets will be available at the door the night of the show.<\/p>\n
