Larger Than Life Comedian Ralphie May Stampedes to Center Stage at Fox Theater at Foxwoods November 1

Comix At Foxwoods presents the hilarious, larger-than-life stand-up comedian Ralphie May at the Fox Theater at Foxwoods on November 1 at 8pm

Voted one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch,” Ralphie May has more to talk about than fat jokes. His keen sense for making an audience illicit uncomfortable laughter gives May the upper hand over the crowd during any performance. The rest is just gravy.

May recently released his record-setting fourth one-hour special for Comedy Central titled “Too Big To Ignore,” proving that his relatable comedic genius is in higher demand than ever. He’ll be releasing a vintage recording on vinyl from 1998 and will come out with his own line of barbecue sauce called “Fat Baby Jesus” later on in 2014.

Since finishing as the runner-up in the debut season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” audiences have not been able to get enough of the larger than life comedian. On the small screen, May has worked as a writer and producer on ESPN’s “Mohr Sports,” starring Jay Mohr.
