Bemidji cancels gig by shock comic Ralphie May

Shock comic Ralphie May’s weekend show in Bemidji was canceled late Wednesday in response to withering social media fire after an 44-second audio clip surfaced on YouTube of him spewing insults at American Indians.

May had been on the calendar at Bemidji’s Sanford Center for Saturday night, but City Council Member Reed Olson said Wednesday evening that it had canceled his appearance on the advice of city leaders.
