Biography
Andrew Dice Clay, born Andrew Clay Silverstein, is an American comedian and actor known for his brash, deliberately offensive persona. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, and rose to fame in the late 1980s with his controversial stand-up comedy routines, which often included nursery rhymes with adult themes. Clay’s style, characterized by his leather jacket, cigarette-smoking demeanor, and use of vulgar language, made him a polarizing figure in comedy. He gained national attention with his debut album “Dice” in 1989 and became the first comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden for two consecutive nights in 1990. Despite facing significant backlash and controversy over his material, Clay’s career continued to flourish with roles in movies and TV shows, including a notable performance in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” in 2013. He also starred in his own Showtime series, “Dice,” which aired from 2016 to 2017, offering a semi-autobiographical take on his life and career.
