Andrew Dice Clay Tickets:

Andrew Dice Clay, born Andrew Clay Silverstein and named after American President Andrew Clay Jackson, is an American comedian and actor born in September 29, 1957. He grew up in Brooklyn and was doing impressions and entertaining his family by the time he was five. In 1978, he auditioned at a local comedy club Brooklyn, doing comedic impressions, and headlined there the following week. His act at the time included an impression of John Travolta in Grease and Jerry Lewis as The Nutty Professor. Clay graduated to the major Manhattan comedy clubs, including Budd Friedman's The Improv, Catch a Rising Star, and Dangerfield's. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980 and was "adopted" there by Mitzi Shore, owner of the famed Comedy Store. His work at the Store led to sitcom appearances on "M*A*S*H" and "Diff'rent Strokes." He later added roles in movies such as "Making the Grade" and "Pretty in Pink." Eventually he turned from acting to pursue stand-up comedy, focusing on the character "Dice" from "Making the Grade." His big break came in 1988 when he did a seven-minute set at Dangerfield's during the Rodney Dangerfield special "Nothing Goes Right." It was there that he met his agent Dennis Arfa and later got his first HBO special. He remained a controversial figure due to his crude, misogynistic, racist, homophobic and degrading style of humor. He has been widely opposed by women's rights groups and banned from many radio and television shows for his explicit language and socially and politically-incorrect charged humor. MTV banned him for life in 1989 for reciting what he called "adult nursery rhymes" during the annual Video Music Awards ceremony. In 2011, he was unbanned by MTV. The Biography Channel refuses to produce a biography of him. In 1990, Clay was invited to guest host "Saturday Night Live." Cast member Nora Dunn refused to appear on the same broadcast with him and did not participate. Invited musical guest Sinead O'Connor also boycotted. Clay continues to perform stand up and act, appearing on the final episode of "Entourage." He is the only comedian in history to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row, which he did in 1990.
