Andrew "Dice" Clay

Known as the king of comedy in the 80’s, Andrew “Dice” Clay is proud to be one of America’s most controversial and outrageous comics.  The legendary comedian and actor has now reclaimed his comedy throne, starring to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Academy Award winning BLUE JASMINE, with Martin Scorsese and HBO in "Vinyl," a recurring role on the final season of HBO’s “Entourage, and he is getting ready to premiere season two of his hit Showtime series “DICE.”  Dice also recently landed the coveted role of 'Lorenzo' in Bradley Cooper's Warner Brothers remake of A STAR IS BORN, where he will portray Lady Gaga's father in a scene-stealing role. Addittionally, Dice is on a tour with his show

Born in Brooklyn, New York on September 29th, 1957, Dice began his career in 1978, where he auditioned at Pips, a local comedy club in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, doing comedic impressions, and then headlined there the following week as “Andrew Clay.” When he released his debut album “DICE,” the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.” During this time, Dice did a character called “The Dice Man,” that was widely popular, based on Buddy Love. Dice eventually became this character full-time in his act. In 1980, Dice moved to Los Angeles, where he was “adopted” by Mitzi Shore, owner of the famed Comedy Store. Dice’s work there led to sitcom appearances on “M*A*S*H” and “Diff’rent Strokes.” Dice later landed roles in movies such as MAKING THE GRADE (1984), PRETTY IN PINK (1986), and CASUAL SEX (1988). In 1990, Dice became the very first comic to sell out the legendary Madison Square Garden 2-nights in a row. Dice also earned the title as the only performer ever “banned for life from MTV.”
 
Dice’s other notable recent TV credits include NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice,” where he is proud to have been the first celebrity thrown off the show. He also took home first place by winning the FOX celebrity cooking competition series “My Kitchen Rules.”
