RALPHIE MAY SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT EVENTNETFLIX- LAST COMIC
STANDING- COMEDY CENTRAL
For 25 years now, RALPHIE MAY HAS APPEARED AT THE BIGGEST VENUES,
slayed every late-night audience multiple times, recorded a special
for every COMEDY-loving network on television, traveled the world for
the USO and reached the level of popularity few STANDUP COMEDIANS HAVE
ATTAINED. Yet little compares to the amount of exposure May
received when Netflix exclusively launched his new COMEDY SPECIAL
“Unruly” on Februrary 27th, at the same time it released the new
season of “House of Cards.”
“That’s the biggest launch in Netflix history,” May said. “The
wave for ‘House of Cards’ is a tsunami and I’m the fat guy
trying to body surf. These guys are taking me to the middle of the
country. They’re taking me into people’s homes. I’m the
luckiest guy in America.”
You could make the argument May already was among the luckiest, with a
charmed career that’s equal parts sweat equity and choking the life
out of every opportunity that came along. He fell in love with COMEDY
AFTER PERFORMING AT A CHURCH CONFERENCE AT AGE 13, and winning
unexpected rewards. He turned professional at 17 when he opened for
Sam Kinison after winning a contest as a dual-enrollment student at
the University of Arkansas.
“He told me to move to Houston,” May said, “so I didn’t wait
till graduation. I just left: ‘I’m going to Houston to do
STANDUP.’ And that was 25 years ago. It’s crazy.”
Houston was a COMEDY MECCA AT THE TIME WITH SEVEN CLUBS AND A
THRIVING, competitive scene. May could work all the time, and he did,
also landing a radio gig that helped expand his reputation. He
eventually earned a spot on the first season of “Last Comic
STANDING,” and though he finished second, he might as well have won
(anybody remember who won that year?) with the way fans fell in love
with his over-the-top persona.
The raw, uncensored hallmarks of his mentor Kinison are evident in
May’s set, laid out brilliantly over two hours in “Unruly,”
recorded in front of a raucous, fist-pumping crowd of thousands in
Atlanta. But May doesn’t deal in simple outrage, building a routine
that’s rich, deep and fearless. He’s able to balance boyish charm,
withering introspection and compassion for his fellow human being with
some of the dirtiest, most honest observations you’ve ever heard.
“When I was a kid, my grandmother taught me how to crochet and how
to quilt, and that’s kind of how I do an act,” May said. “I have
one-liners, I have dirty jokes, but I also have long stories that are
10 or 20 minutes long and the laughs come every eight seconds. It’s
a different set. And it’s a different life than most people have
led.”
In the uncensored and unfiltered “Unruly,” he riffs on pop
culture, race, his own excesses, the dangers of meeting Anderson
Cooper and the mesmerizing deliciousness of Chick-Fil-A. With the
increased visibility of the Netflix partnership, May hopes to fill the
next 25 years of his career with even more breathless moments.
Viewership expectations are high. May debuted five specials over a
decade on Comedy Central with each drawing record ratings. He also
tours extensively and has made 19 trips into war zones to perform for
troops with the USO and Wounded Warriors charity. And his popularity
continues to grow. He and his family split their time between
Nashville and Los Angeles, where he has television development deals
for an unscripted reality show with Ryan Seacrest Productions and a
scripted series with Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions.
