Ralphie May
Veteran comedian Ralphie May's popularity exploded after the success of the first season of NBC's hit reality series, "Last Comic Standing". Long-time fans of Ralphie's stand-up were joined by countless new fans when America thought he was robbed of the winner's title. Despite the show's outcome, Ralphie's special brand of comedy combines the familiar elements of hip-hop and topical comedy with a dash of southern down-home flavor and quick wit making Ralphie May one of the most popular comedians in the country. His first DVD, appropriately titled "Just Correct," went Platinum! Released on February 10th of 2004 by Melee Entertainment, a division of DreamWorks, the collection has been described as "fresh and very, very funny." The DVD also includes footage of his Uso Tour to Iraq where he could be seen swimming in Saddam Hussein's pool.
His special brand of humor and incredible timing has allowed him to cross social, cultural, and ethnic barriers and has earned him roles in such films as For Da Love Of Money and Gas, to name a few of several independent productions. Ralphie has worked as an actor, writer and producer on ESPN's Mohr Sports starring Jay Mohr and had four appearances on CBS's The Late Late Show w/ Craig Kilborn as well as eleven appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He has been seen on Tough Crowd, The Man Show and MTV's Bash as well as in guest-starring roles on numerous television shows including NBC's Whoopie. In an appearance on The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno he received a standing ovation, the first comedian in 10 years to receive this honor. The New York Times raves, "Ralphie is phenomenal... "The Washington Post describes his comedy style as a "Tour de Force." At the age of seventeen, Ralphie entered a talent show, to which the winner would get to open for Sam Kinison. A dream came true... Ralphie won the contest and after the show, Sam turned to Ralphie and said, "That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life."
A long way from that first night opening for Sam Kinison, Ralphie's 2nd DVD/CD just recorded in Knoxville, Tennessee April 2006. "Girth of a Nation" is scheduled for release in the fall of 2006. His new Comedy Central Hour Special will also air in the fall of 2006. Ralphie is currently touring the Nation's finest Theatres and Comedy Clubs.
