The extremely controversial and outrageous actor and stand-up comedian Andrew Dice Clay is outdoing young comedians in work ethics and spirit.
Key Takeaways
- Andrew Dice Clay has been on a roll, selling venues left and right and keeping himself busy.
- Although he suffered from illness a few years ago, Dice recovered quickly and came back strong.
He has been performing back-to-back stage shows; however, he isn’t as popular as he used to be.
His stardom was at its peak in 1990 when he became the first stand-up comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden, not once but for two consecutive nights.
Regardless, not everyone was fond of his chaotic persona. Due to his scandalous content, he has received backlash and bans over the years but that didn’t stop him.
He also had a good run of Hollywood acting career before he semi-retired to raise his sons, Max and Dillion, with his ex, Kathleen Monica.
Comeback Made Through Acting
Performing was in his blood, and he couldn’t keep it stationary for long. Andrew made a comeback in 2011 with a role on the show “Entourage.”
Then, he continued to get great roles, such as in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” (2013) and Scorsese’s HBO show “Vinyl” (2016).
Not to forget his iconic role as Lady Gaga’s dad in “A Star Is Born” in 2018.
During his historic run, Clay even faced minor setbacks. In November 2017, he had a stent placed in a partially blocked artery.
Similarly, he was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy in August 2021.
Nonetheless, he recovered quickly as the condition was declared temporary and continued to perform live.
