Ralph #8 - Summer2026

Ralph #8 - Summer2026

Are you ready for Ralph 08? It is absolutely packed with fun worth finding… This issue sees Drag Race-winning, Madonna-collaborating, Moulin Rouge!-starring, production company-owning, best-selling author, director, comedian, intern and total multi-hyphenate, Bob the Drag Queen as our cover star, discussing failing auditions, hard won success, the love of stand up comedy, Madonna and being so damn busy.

We also catch up with SNL UK star Paddy Young about saying insane things on live TV and free lunches, do an extremely serious investigation into how many chips are actually in a portion chips (Pulitzer now please), and fire stupid questions at extremely buzzy band Girl In The Year Above. Photographer Chris Bethell shot a jaw-dropping fashion feature with Britain's best-dressed dogs, we speak with Thaddeus Kalinoski – most famous for earning six-figures in Las Vegas as a lookalike of Zach Galifianakis' character in The Hangover, meet Nectarine Girl: the UK’s biggest Juicy Couture fan, take a deep dive into the South Asian heavy metal scene, review car air fresheners, learn how to get naked on stage with Garry Starr and lots, lots more FUN WORTH FINDING (can you tell we’ve got a new strap line?)

About Ralph:

A brand new pop culture focused independent title. Looking on the brighter side of life while harnessing the chaotic freedom of 90s magazine design and content, Ralph brings together a host of fantastic writers, photographers and illustrators from around the world. Issue 1 features cult actor Burn Gorman on the cover in his first ever in-depth profile, while The Simpsons writer and showrunner Bill Oakley tells us what fast food menu items the characters from the iconic show would be. It also has the internet’s favourite chef Olivia Tiedemann, a deep dive on how Japanese music has influenced The West for decades from The Quietus’ Deputy Editor Paddy Clarke, as well as Flavor Flav, Nobel Prize winner Jon Fosse, Mia Khalifa, the coolest night out in Brooklyn, an investigation of the little-known LA Takeover subculture, a fashion shoot at Mumbai Comic Con and loads, loads more. Great journalism alongside hilarious illustrations, absurdist photo features, and plain oddities, Ralph is celebrating pop culture… for the fun of it.
