Direct from his massive shows in Vegas, Andrew Dice Clay, kicked off his first ever Australian tour in Sydney last night to a packed house. He’s also managed some sightseeing & even bumped into rockstar friend Slash. Dice continues his hilarious tour of Australia with a total of 15 shows including one in Adelaide on October 18th.
Andrew Dice Clay is proud to be America’s most controversial and outrageous comic of all time. The comic icon’s rise to fame was meteoric, selling out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row, appearing in numerous feature films, a string of multi-gold and platinum selling CD’s and DVD’s, starring in HBO specials and profiled everywhere from Entertainment Tonight to Nightline. His first stand-up special in 17 years aired on Showtime in 2013 entitled ‘Andrew Dice Clay: INDESTRUCTIBLE,’ and his critically acclaimed role on ‘Entourage’ and in Woody Allen’s feature film ‘Blue Jasmine’ alongside Cate Blanchett, has seen the DiceMan back touring the world. Australian comedy fans will get to experience Andrew Dice Clay live as he brings his show down under for the very first time.
To this day, Clay remains the only performer banned for life from MTV. When he released his debut album, DICE, the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.” Despite the media backlash, Dice’s star rose at a phenomenal rate as he played hundreds of sports arenas from coast to coast across the USA throughout the 90’s. As Dice proudly boasted, “I’ve done so many concerts tours that I can’t even remember their names.” And in 1992, Dice performed in front of the largest audience ever by a comedian when he shared the stage with Guns & Roses at the Rose Bowl.
Along the way, Dice starred in feature films including: The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, appeared in several HBO specials (The Dice Man Cometh), released best selling DVDs (No Apologies, Dice Rules!), a string of successful CDs (Day The Laughter Died; Filth and Face Down, Ass Up), and in 2009, he appeared on Celebrity Apprentice where he proudly admits he was thrown off the show first.
Over the last few years, Clay has been going through a resurgence; he had a critically acclaimed recurring role on the final season of HBO’s Entourage. And in 2013, The DiceMan co-starred alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s feature film “Blue Jasmine”.
The secret to Dice’s continuing success is that he has a lot more going for him than shocking and being a potty mouth. Clay is a disciplined, talented and versatile performer/actor. His acting roles and credits clearly show that Clay is capable of being just as funny without the dirty words.
But more than anything, audiences continue to crave that excitement and demand to see The DiceMan and Clay is more than happy to oblige and prove the comic icon isINDESTRUCTIBLE.
