Sarah Hester Ross is an American musical comedienne and dueling piano performer in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has a large presence on social media with millions of TikTok followers.[1] Her best-known comedic trends include “Stop Giving Men Microphones” and "Florida Man Friday."[2] Ross considers herself “the piano-playing Bette Midler."[1]
Ross has been named “Best One Women Show” by Las Vegas Weekly[3] and “Best Comedian” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. She was featured on “America's Got Talent”[4] and "The Doctor Demento Show." [2]
Early Life and Career
editOriginally from Tampa, Florida,[5] Ross has been performing onstage since the age of three.[6] She studied vocal performance in college and plays multiple instruments, most proficient on piano[1] and keytar.[5]
After college, Ross performed in community theater and professionally at Universal Studios.[1] In 2010, she was sidelined by the formation of scar tissue on her vocal cords. After undergoing surgery and working through recovery, Ross moved into the world of dueling piano performance.[6]
When the pandemic shuttered venues in 2020, Ross focused her energy on expanding her online presence. One of her most successful efforts was the creation of "Florida Man Friday." Every Friday, Ross would run a Google search of "Florida Man" along with the current date. This would inevitably call up a current day news story detailing something crazy, and likely illegal, that someone in Florida had done. Ross would then post a video summarizing the article to the tune of "Potiphar" from the musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." The videos were so popular, Ross expanded to posting twice a week by adding an additional segment called "Florida Woman Wednesday."[6]
Ross's online success led to a post-pandemic three-month Vegas residency and subsequent US tour.[5] Ross’s comedy special “Don’t Mess with a Redhead,” a culmination of material from her residency and tour, was released on April 23, 2024.[2]
In August 2024, Ross brought her show “Sarah Hester Ross is What??” to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland. The show highlights some of her most popular comedic bits, including her tendency to discuss sensitive social issues with a comedic twist.[7]
Ross has performed regularly at Bar at Times Square at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas since 2019.[1]
