Overview

Help us complete a hilarious one hour special of the late and great comedian, Ralphie May!

The Story

In 2015, Ralphie May and his wife Lahna Turner hired a filmmaker to come out on the road with them. During that year she captured priceless real life moments and hours of Ralphie's hilarious standup comedy in various cities across the United States. When Ralphie passed away in October of 2017, we realized this incredible, never before seen footage of Ralphie should be shared with his fans.

Who We Are

The Ralphie May Estate

This film is being produced by the estate of Ralphie May. Proceeds from the special will go to his widow, Lahna Turner, and two children, April and August May. A portion of the proceeds from the completed project will also be donated http://www.ourhouse-grief.org in honor of Ralphie's memory to help families cope with bereavement, and to https://www.tmcc.org to help individuals and families cope with mental illness and addiction issues.

The Funds

We are hoping to raise at least $75,000. There are many expenses needed to complete this project and have it ready for a distributor - such as:

Editorial
Sound
Finishing costs
Marketing/promotional
Legal
Licensing
Etc.

We are excited to share more of Ralphie's incredible talent with the world. Please help us do that.
