Lahna Turner opens up about a journey shaped by creativity, loss, resilience, and reinvention.
From a shy photographer hiding behind the lens to commanding stages as a comedian, her path was anything but predictable. A life-altering car accident pushed her to confront fear head-on, ultimately leading her into stand-up comedy and a deeply transformative relationship with Ralphie May.
Her latest project, Come What May, is more than a documentary—it’s a decade-long labor of love capturing Ralphie May’s life, struggles, and legacy. Through raw storytelling, unseen footage, and personal reflection, Lahna reveals the complexities behind fame, addiction, grief, and healing. This conversation explores not only Ralphie’s rise and impact, but also the emotional weight of telling a story that’s both deeply personal and universally human.
