Andrew Dice Clay Biography

Andrew Dice Clay is one of the most popular and richest Comedian who was born on September 29, 1957 in Brooklyn, New York State, United States. Foul-mouthed Brooklyn comic who gained recognition for his role in The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. His notable albums include The Day the Laughter Died and The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.

He was in Pretty in Pink with Molly Ringwald.

At age five, Clay was entertaining his family with impressions, and by seven he was playing drums, inspired by the sounds of big band music. Clay attended James Madison High School in Brooklyn and as a teenager worked as a drummer on the Catskill Mountains circuit in the 1970s playing bar mitzvahs and weddings under the name Clay Silvers. Upon returning to New York City, he failed to form a big band of his own. He pursued higher education but dropped out to become a full-time comedian. Clay cites Elvis Presley, Fonzie, John Travolta, and Sylvester Stallone as his heroes.

Clay began his stand-up career in 1978 when he auditioned at Pips comedy club in Sheepshead Bay, which turned into a headline spot at the venue the following week, billed as Andrew Clay. He started with an act mainly of impressions, which included a character named “The Diceman” based on Jerry Lewis as Buddy Love from The Nutty Professor which transformed into John Travolta in Grease. It took him three weeks to prepare the act. A picture of him on stage during his early sets at Pips was described: “[Clay] In a baggy white shirt, pants rolled up to his knees and a pair of thick glasses”, with a black leather jacket underneath the shirt so he could seamlessly switch to his Travolta character when the lights went out. With his new act, Clay graduated to larger and more prestigious comedy venues including The Improv, Catch a Rising Star, and Dangerfield’s. He recalled his father being supportive of his act during one performance at the latter. “He knew it was different right off the bat […] He saw it worked”. The persona was more of a shock to his mother, but she got used to it and he recalled her laughing at his jokes.

He was married to Kathleen Monica from 1992 to 2002. His son, Max, followed in his footsteps and has become a stand-up comedian. He also has a son named Dylan.

Andrew “Dice” Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein; September 29, 1957) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, musician and producer. He rose to prominence in the late 1980s with a brash, macho, persona known as “The Diceman”. In 1990, he became the first stand-up comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden for two consecutive nights. That same year, he played the lead role in the comedy-mystery film The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.

His performances at the venue led to his first sitcom roles with appearances on M*A*S*H and Diff’rent Strokes, and feature-length films, including Making the Grade (1984), Pretty in Pink (1986), and Casual Sex? (1988). A review by the Los Angeles Times critic Michael Wilmington described Clay’s character in the latter, named “The Vin Man” and based on his Diceman persona, as “a macho bozo from Jersey”. From 1986 to 1988, he had a regular role as Max Goldman on Crime Story. His act included a drum solo as a tribute to Buddy Rich. Clay then pursued stand-up comedy full-time as the Dice character.

Clay’s breakthrough came in 1988 when he performed at an all-male Big Brother Association dinner event with “all of Hollywood’s royalty […] dressed in tuxedos and I show up in a black leather jacket with a flag on the back that said ‘Rock and Roll'”. The set was a hit; the next day, 20th Century Fox offered him a film deal and entered talks with producer Joel Silver. Also in 1988, Clay performed a seven-minute set at Dangerfield’s in New York City for Rodney Dangerfield’s HBO stand-up showcase special Nothing Goes Right, launching him into the national spotlight.

By 1980, Clay had relocated to Los Angeles and landed work at the Comedy Store, owned by Mitzi Shore, where he changed his stage name to Andrew Clay. His sets were not an instant hit, and because of his dirty act and her unwillingness to have other comics follow him, Shore had Clay perform at late hours, resorting for him “to wait and perform for ten drunks”. In 1982, Clay landed his first film role, appearing in Wacko. In 1983, Clay added the “Diceman” moniker to his name and no longer relied on impressions of other notable figures, instead creating an alter ego based on his heroes. He first used the act at the Comedy Store after he was asked to fill in for a comic who cancelled their spot. He said: “I didn’t have my Jerry Lewis stuff with me, so I just winged it, saying whatever popped in my head”.

In 1989, Clay was named Comedy Act of the Year by readers of Performance magazine. In March 1989, he released his debut comedy album Dice, which went on to reach gold certification by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 copies in the US. It peaked at No. 89 on the US Billboard 200. In September 1989, Clay performed a three-minute set at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, which included his adult versions of the Mother Goose nursery rhymes. The incident led to MTV imposing a lifetime ban on Clay from appearing on the network. The ban was lifted in 2011.
