Ralphie May is one of the most popular comedians in the country. He can currently be seen in 87 million living rooms nationwide on a regular basis with his one-hour special, "Ralphie May: Prime Cut" on Comedy Central which premiered November 3, 2007. The special premiered to higher ratings than Larry the Cable Guy or Ron White during Comedy Central's "Blue Collar Weekend" and continues to be played in rotation. Filmed in front of a live audience in Knoxville, TN, Ralphie is the first comedian in history to record two specials in one night. "Prime Cut" is the follow-up to "Girth of a Nation" which aired on Comedy Central last year, November 7, 2006. Both were followed by a DVD and CD of the same name, released by Warner Bros. Records.
Known for his hip-hop brand of comedy, Ralphie has his ebonics and quick wit down pat, which has earned him roles in such urban films as "For Da Love Of Money" and "Gas". He was also the only white comedian to perform on "The Big Black Comedy Show", along with Mo'Nique, Rodman, Sexy Marie and Vince Morris.
Ralphie has a proven track record of selling out multiple shows in 1,500 to 3,000 seat venues. He has a no nonsense point of view and the ability to connect with a diverse audience by pointing out society's hypocrisies. Ralphie doesn't shy away from touchy topics or ethnic jokes, nor does he bite his tongue when society suggests, because he sincerely believes that as long as what he's saying is true, people need to hear it.
