and in his time away from "The Office"continues to headline
sold-out shows at theatres, colleges, and comedy clubs. As an actor,

Since
"Last Comic Standing", RALPHIE MAY has taken
his middle-America, down-home comedic commentary to the sold out masses
across the country. Ralphie's XL-sized comedy crosses cultural barriers
of race, ethnicity, and societal taboos - leaving everyone in the audience
laughing and begging for more. A staple on the late night TV circuit,
his live show has been captured in three separate one hour Comedy Central
Specials. His last, "Prime Cuts" was a smash hit and one of
Comedy Central's highest rated stand-up specials ever. Due to his overwhelming
popularity, his next special, "Austin-Tatious" will be a 90
minute show airing on Comedy Central later this year. |

200 sketches in their repertoire, have a loyal following on collegehumor.com.
The guys can also be seen in their own TV show, now going into it's
