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.
