Girth of a Nation (Warner Bros., 2006) by Ralphie May

This is my favorite set by Ralphie May.  He walks a fine line with his racial humor, but he is able to pull it off successfully (in my opinion).  The two best routines are about the pope's death and catholicism and commentary provided by movie-goers during a preview for the film Open Water.  The album gets a bit long-winded near the end, but that's only a minor complaint.  Overall, this is a great early album from one of the funniest working comics out right now.  Much respect due.
