Special Event: Andrew Dice Clay

ANDREW DICE CLAY is proud to be one of America's most controversial and outrageous comics. And it’s that persona that has made him a Rock and Roll, Comedy Legend. When he released his debut album, Dice, the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.”

Despite media backlash, Dice’s rise to fame was nothing less than meteoric, creating “Dicemania”. He became the first comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row, as well as sporting arenas all across the country and was the only performer ever “Banned For Life from MTV.”

Dice has released numerous best-selling DVDs (No Apologies and Dice Rules!) and a string of multi-gold and platinum selling CDs (The Day The Laughter Died and Face Down, Ass Up). Dice also starred in several one-hour HBO, pay per view and Showtime stand-up specials including: The Diceman Cometh and Indestructible.

In recent years, Dice’s career has experienced a resurgence. In 1992, Dice performed in front of the largest audience ever by a comedian at that time, when he shared the stage with Guns & Roses at the Rose Bowl and most notably for his recurring role on the final season of Entourage, when he starred to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, Martin Scorsese’s Vinyl and most recently in the award winning, blockbuster hit, A Star Is Born. His other notable TV credits are The Celebrity Apprentice, where he is proud to have been the first celebrity thrown off the show that season and his Showtime series, for two seasons, called Dice, which was very loosely based on his own life.

Additionally, in 2014, Simon & Schuster published Dice’s brutally honest, unapologetic and uncensored autobiography “The Filthy Truth”, in which, Dice chronicles his remarkable rise, fall, and triumphant return. Filled with no-holds-barred humor and honesty, the book sets the record straight and gives readers plenty of never-before-shared stories from his career and his celebrity friendships.

For decades, the secret to Dice's continuing success is that he has a lot more going for him than just being a shocking potty mouth. He is a comedic icon and his acting roles and credits clearly show that he is capable of being just as funny (or serious) without the dirty words. Dice is a talented, disciplined and versatile performer/actor and continues to be a comedy force to reckon with. But more than anything, audiences continue to crave the excitement, and demand to see The Diceman, and he is more than happy to oblige so don’t miss this Undisputed Comedy King if he appears in a city near you.

Eleanor J. Kerrigan is the latest in a long line of historically funny women who cut their teeth at the World Famous Comedy Store. Starting as a waitress there, Eleanor learned the ropes of comedy, all the while making the best comics in the country laugh in the kitchen of the club. It would take several years and lots of pushing from one of her biggest fans, Andrew Dice Clay, to finally get her to take her comedic talents to the stage. After co-starring with him in “Dice Undisputed,” Dice invited Eleanor to go on the road to promote the show. “I’m an actress, not a stand-up!” she replied. After seeing her one-woman show, Andrew would no longer take no for an answer. “You’re hysterical, and
everyone should know that!” he said, and Eleanor’s been performing stand-up in clubs and theaters around the country ever since. Her hilarious take on life comes from her unique experiences growing up street-savvy in South Philly as one of 10 children in an Irish-Catholic family. She paints an uproarious portrait of her life experiences, beginning with her childhood in a three-bedroom row home and moving to her adventures as an adult living in L.A...

Eleanor’s shoot-from-the-hip take on life is both refreshing and exciting. She’s not afraid to give the audience a piece of her mind and they love her for it. Eleanor is also a graduate of the esteemed Joanne Baron and D.W. Brown acting studio
in Santa Monica, California, following in the footsteps of acting greats such as Halley Berry and Patrick Dempsey.
She’s had audiences rolling as one of the motorcycle riding, pool cue wielding tag team called “Harley’s Angels” on UPN’s
“Women of Wrestling” and has made countless appearances on other major networks such as Nickelodeon, VH1, Howard Stern & HBO’s Entourage. You can also catch Eleanor on the Blue Show on Showtime. Hear her share those crazy Comedy Store Stories as Co-host of the Comedy Store podcast. Eleanor Kerrigan is certainly one to watch & will be touring the country with her brazen brand of humor. Don’t miss her!

Jimmy McDonald toured the north east as a musician for several years before dropping the guitar and becoming a full on stand up comic. As a comedian, he has performed all over the north east including some of the most legendary comedy clubs in New York City (such as Stand Up NY, Dangerfield’s, Broadway and EastVille Comedy Club).

Jimmy won the Hudson Valley’s 2017 “Roast-Madness” roast battle tournament, has been featured at premium clubs such as The FunnyBone (Albany, NY), and has become a regular at Levity Live (West Nyack, NY).
