About Andrew Dice Clay
The American stand-up comedian, actor, musician, and producer Andrew Clay Silverstein, better known by his stage name Andrew Dice Clay, was born on September 29, 1957. His estimated net worth is $10 million. Andrew “Dice” Clay, one of the most contentious comedians of all time, briefly surpassed all other comics in the globe in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Clay was the first comedian since Steve Martin to acquire “rock star” status, selling out sports stadiums instead of only playing clubs. He was known for performing an act that was bluer than blue, packed with profanity, misogyny, and filthy sex talk.
His most well-known act was a collection of foul versions of popular children’s nursery rhymes. But Clay’s popularity was fleeting, and in the 1990s, the populace swiftly turned against him. He kept on acting and doing comedy, but his audience had shrunk considerably and was now more of a cult of devoted followers.
Brooklyn, New York, is where Andrew Dice Clay (real name Andrew Clay Silverstein) was born and reared. At age 5, he started doing stand-up for family and friends. In 1978, Clay began performing professionally, first in Brooklyn nightclubs and then in Manhattan. He appeared in several tiny roles in movies and TV shows like MASH, Diff’rent Strokes, and Private Resort and Pretty in Pink.
Following a set on Rodney Dangerfield’s 1988 comedy spectacular Nothing Goes Right, Clay had his big break. He continues to be the only comic to sell out Madison Square Garden twice.
In 1990, at the height of his fame, Clay received an offer to host Saturday Night Live. Nora Dunn, a regular cast member, boycotted the episode and did not take part in any skits because several of the cast members did not like Dice’s stand-up act. Sinead O’Connor, a musical guest, also opted not to perform.
The mid-1990s saw a slight decline in Dice’s prominence, so he made the decision to reinvent himself. He decided against playing the “Dice” and accepted the role of Andrew Clay on the CBS sitcom Bless This House, a parody of The Honeymooners that also starred Cathy Moriarty. There were just 16 episodes in the entire season. Two years later, Dice gave sitcoms another shot by appearing as the sleazy head of a record label in a supporting role on the UPN comedy Hitz. That program only had 16 episodes.
Clay returned to television in 2007 with the VH1 reality series Dice Undisputed. After seven episodes, the program was cancelled.
The Blue Show, featuring some of Clay’s favorite blue comics, was hosted in 2015. Clay appeared in the Martin Scorsese/Mick Jagger-produced television series Vinyl as a record executive in a guest appearance in 2016. 2017 saw Clay and his wife participate in the Fox reality cooking competition My Kitchen Rules. 2018 saw Dice’s I’m Ova Hea’ Now podcast debut on the GaS Digital network. Andrew Dice Clay’s net worth is projected to reach $10 million as of 2023.
The Mixtape That Hates You (1988), Dice (1989), The Day the Laughter Died (1990), Dice Rules (1991), 40 Too Long (1992), The Day the Laughter Died Part II (1993), No Apologies (1993), and Filth (1993) are albums and stand-up specials by Andrew Dice Clay (1999), (2000). Face Down, Ass Up, Indestructible (2012)
Dice was permanently barred from the network in 1989 after he sang some of his children’s rhymes during the MTV Video Music Awards. But in 2011, MTV relaxed the restriction. In 2009, Dice participated in the second season of the NBC reality competition series The Celebrity Apprentice. In the tournament, he did not get very far.
2011 saw Clay listed by Complex Magazine as one of the 15 worst stand-up comedians ever. Max, Clay’s son, performs stand-up comedy as well and occasionally opens for Dice at events. He and his kid are both talented drummers.
