Andrew Dice Clay, born Andrew Clay Silverstein, is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He rose to prominence in the late 1980s with his brash and deliberately offensive persona, "The Diceman." In 1990, he achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first stand-up comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden for two consecutive nights. That same year, he played the lead role in the comedy-mystery film *The Adventures of Ford Fairlane*.
