Who is Andrew Dice Clay?
Andrew Clay Silverstein (born September 29, 1957), known as Andrew Dice Clay, is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He rose to fame in the late 1980s with a brash, deliberately offensive stage persona, “The Diceman.”
In 1990 he became the first stand-up to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row, and starred in the film The Adventures of Ford Fairlane the same year.
Later he won praise in supporting roles in Blue Jasmine (2013) and A Star Is Born (2018), which brought a SAG Award ensemble nomination. He starred in Showtime’s Dice for two seasons, still tours, and launched the podcast I’m Ova Hea’ Now in September 2018.
