Interview: Comedian and Tennessee Native Ralphie May On Bonnaroo

Playing Bonnaroo is a huge honor for Tennessee-native comedian Ralphie May, but he's not about to pretend like the place isn't crowded with "80,000 stinking white people." Jokes aside, May elaborated on his appreciation for the fest, "Bonnaroo is special because they're the first ones to really run to stand up comedy, and put it in its own venue, and elevate it to its own art."

While competitors like SXSW have jumped on the bandwagon (er, comedian-wagon?) in recent years, Bonnaroo began supporting comedians a decade ago when they put Jim Breuer on the festival in 2005.
