Ralphie O. May, (born February 1972 in Chattanooga, Tennessee) is a male American stand-up comedian who usually performs in Los Angeles, California. May first got into comedy after he entered and won a talent show while still in high school. The prize of the talent show was the right to open for Sam Kinison. After graduating from Clarksville High School in Clarksville, Arkansas, he then moved to Houston, Texas to perfect his comedy, and then to Los Angeles, where he has worked as an actor, writer, and producer.
