Andrew Dice Clay

Andrew Dice Clay is an American stand-up comedian and actor, known for his controversial and often provocative humor characterized by his brash persona and nursery rhyme-style jokes. Rising to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he became a cultural phenomenon, particularly for his performances at the Metropolitan Opera House and his role in films like 'The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.'
