Andrew Dice Clay
Andrew Dice Clay is the star of Dice, a new scripted series for Showtime that takes a semi-autobiographical and totally self-deprecating look at his rise and fall and attempt to get back up in Las Vegas. If you were born after 1989, you would have easily missed Clay’s meteoric moments at the top of the stand-up comedy world as he rode a wave of faux masculine misogyny, but to see him now in a relatively intimate setting as a reflective yet still macho personality will offer you a fascinating tale of the fame machine.
