I don't know if any of you were fans of stand up comic Ralphie May, but he died of a heart attack today. I saw him in Lexington about 2 months ago and he was bigger than ever before. He was funny as hell but looked in poor health for sure. And go ahead and cue the pics of Ralphie from A Christmas Story as I know they are coming.

I saw him as well at Comedy off Broadway. Funny as hell. Really bad shape thought, had to have help getting on stage. When I saw him, I thought he might have 2 years left.
Saw him at the Funny Bone in Newport. Pretty good show. Over weight comedian or professional wrassler prepare to die early I guess. Sad.
I know he was really big but I think there was a drug problem that got publicized during his divorce. I don't recall the details but both conditions are killers.
Damn, we just watched his episode of "This is Not Happening" a few weeks ago about the gay wedding. I thought he was pretty dang funny.

I saw him at the funny bone in slewport also it was around 2008. Through my job I met him personally and he gave me tickets to the show. He was a super nice guy. Some of those guys are huge asses but he was a legit guy. That's terrible he died
That's funny. Was thinking something similar.He should’ve listened to the manager of that Chinese restaurant.
I actually just found out who this guy was a couple of years ago. Funny guy
But thought at first that he was a fat lesbian

I think a small percentage of prevalent stand up comedians are actually really funny.
Ralphie May didn't fall into that percentage for me. I won't miss him. I'm sure the owners of whatever Golden Corral and Chinese Buffets in his hometown are in mourning.
