JoAnna Ross

JoAnna Ross’s debut comedy album/special, “Hot 50!” comes out April 2026.
 JoAnna started her career off as a dancer at 3 years old (pictures available upon request). As a professional dancer she was in the original cast of Footloose on Broadway, The Rosie O’donnell Show, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, regional theater productions, and a production of Chess at the Ford Amphitheater in LA with Ty Taylor, Susan Egan, and Matthew Morrison. JoAnna was a principal dancer in national commercials, including Dell’s “Dancing Pentiums” campaign (I am the green one) which aired during the Super Bowl. She eventually found her way to stand up because she finally listened to her mom, who had been telling her to do it for years.

Starting on the West Coast and ending up on the East Coast JoAnna performs regularly at the New York Comedy Clubs, West Side Comedy Club, The Pear, Uncle Vinnie’s and independant shows all over the 5 boroughs, well I haven’t been to Staten Island yet so four boroughs. JoAnna has featured/opened for Jackie the Joke Man, Sarah Colonna, Rich Vos, Lance Weiss and produces/performs in the nightlife institution Schtick A Pole In It, the best and only comedy and pole dancing show for the last 13 years. JoAnna also just launched her podcast called “You Only Wear it Once” where she is in her wedding gown, interviewing guests in theirs. On her 1st season she interviewed Sarah Colonna from Chelsea Lately, NYTimes Best selling author, Marjorie Salvaterra: Photographer, Ophira Eisenberg: Host of NPR’s “Ask Me Another” comic, writer, Kim Roots: Editor n Chief at TVLine, among others oh and her 84 year old mom who of course stole the show.
