Andrew Dice Clay Tickets

Crude, rude and controversial are the best words to describe Andrew Dice Clay, but we doubt he would mind. In fact, it is his crass personality and raunchy, tactless and often asinine standup routine that has produced his outrageous fame and highly successful career.

The History of Andrew Dice Clay Tickets

Born in Brooklyn in 1957 as Andrew Clay Silverstein, Andrew Dice Clay was originally a struggling actor who made a name for himself in low-budget teen movies in the 1980s. He continued to struggle as an actor until he created his standup routine, and his on-stage persona, the Diceman.

The Diceman was, for all intents and purposes, an everyday street thug who employed the use of off-color nursery rhymes in his standup routine. Often described as "angry and arrogant," Andrew Dice Clay went for the blue-collar audience. His standup routines often revolved around common stereotypes given to women, homosexuals and minorities, and along with the likes of Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks and Dennis Leary, was labeled a "shock comic" by critics and the media.

However, unlike other comics who took to social commentary, Clay was relentless, offering his fans little more than vile criticisms and hatred-filled sets. His fans loved his him and bought Andrew Dice Clay tickets; his critics were outraged.

Clay released he debut comedy album in 1989, and his popularity skyrocketed. Although his comedy routine was still hotly debated across the country, he nevertheless was invited to host Saturday Night Live in 1990.  While this appearance resulted in controversy (musical guest Sinead O'Conner walked off set in protest to Clay's appearance), he nevertheless became an even more popular figure at the time, selling out Andrew Dice Clay tickets.

He soon appeared in his first movie role, the Adventures of Ford Fairlane. An expletive-filled routine to promote his movie on MTV earned him a lifetime ban from the network, and his subsequent work did not sell well (his two-disc comedy set, The Day the Laughter Died, failed to reach the Top 40). After a few failed movie roles, he reappeared in the CBS sitcom, Bless This House, but this, too, didn't do very well. He is now back in the standup circuit performing as "Diceman" once again.
