Before the arenas and standing ovations, there was a chubby kid from Clarksville, Arkansas who discovered that laughter could change his life.

Ralphie May fought his way through the Houston comedy scene before exploding onto the national stage as the breakout star of the first season of Last Comic Standing. What followed was a decade of sold out theaters, chart topping specials, and one of the most relentless touring careers in American comedy.

On stage he was unstoppable. Bigger than life, fearless, and completely in command of the room.

Off stage the pressures never slowed down. The schedule was brutal. The appetite that fueled his rise kept growing.

Come What May tells the full story of Ralphie May through the comics who stood beside him, the friends who knew him best, and the people who watched him burn bright at the center of comedy.

Funny, raw, and deeply human, this is the story comedy never fully told.

Until now.
