Andrew Dice Clay, born Andrew Clay Silverstein on September 29, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York, is a trailblazing comic artist who took the entertainment world by storm with his audacious humor and unapologetic style. Raised to stand out from the crowd, Clay embarked on his comedic journey at an early age, making his debut at age 21. He became recognized for his character 'The Diceman', a brash, foul-mouthed persona that was often seen as controversial. Clay's career rose to prominence during the late 1980s, when he became the first comedian in history to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. He earned his reputation as a "comic superstar" not just for his sold-out performances, but also his numerous appearances on popular shows like The Arsenio Hall Show, Saturday Night Live and The Howard Stern Show. His unique blend of risque humor and raw storytelling resonated with audiences, despite provoking considerable backlash due to its explicit nature. Beyond his stand-up comedy, Clay has demonstrated a broad range of acting abilities in various films and television series throughout the years. His notable roles include a starring role in the critically acclaimed film Blue Jasmine directed by Woody Allen, where he played the character Augie, and the semi-autobiographical series Dice. Despite the controversies surrounding his career, his commitment to his craft and his willingness to push boundaries has solidified his place in the annals of American entertainment.
