Ralphie May

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."

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.

May is currently on tour in North America. For more information about May or to buy tickets, visit www.ralphiemay.com.
