Because this buffoon is none other than Andrew Dice Clay, who returns to the stage as part of a raunchy residency at Hard Rock club Vinyl through May 26. Expect the same chain-smoking, leather-clad Dice ripping through every taboo in the book. From behind those trademark Aviator shades, he'll be in his element in this dark, speakeasy-style venue that looks like a dungeon built just for him. Yes, he still does the naughty nursery rhymes a la the NSFW “Hickory dickory dock…” that got him banned from MTV for life. But told from the perspective of an aging 55-year-old comic, the 70-minute show bubbles with reinvigorated life. (Maybe thanks to a little blue pill.)

  • Grateful Dead Until 1999, Whose Inspiration and Encyclopedic Knowledge of the Band’S Vaults Spawned the Fabled Dick’S Picks Series of Live Dead Concert Recordings
    “Dick” was Dick Latvala, the official tape archivist for the Grateful Dead until 1999, whose inspiration and encyclopedic knowledge of the band’s vaults spawned the fabled Dick’s Picks series of live Dead concert recordings. Comprised of 36 volumes, Dick’s Picks follows the band on its long, strange trip through a multitude of eras, tours and venues, featuring handpicked shows that display the band at its visionary, improvisational height. Now, Real Gone Music is finally bringing this unparalleled cache of Dead concert brilliance to record stores— many of these volumes have never been available at music retail, and the others have been unavailable for close to a decade! GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick’s Picks Vol. 13—Nassau Dick's Picks Coliseum, Uniondale, NY 5/6/81 (3-CD Set) This show, which appears here in its entirety, was already some- thing of a legend among Dead collectors before archivist Dick Latvala selected it for Dick’s Picks Vol. 13. Only the second GRATEFUL concert (at the time) from the ‘80s to be tapped for the series, it was (and is) widely regarded to be among the best perform- DEAD ances of the decade, particularly notable for a stunning sec- ond-set sequence featuring “He’s Gone” leading into the SELLING POINTS: last-ever performance of the “Caution Jam,” which then morphed into the first performance of the “Spanish Jam” in five years. A real high point • Dick’s Picks Vol. 13 Presents One of the Most of the era. But before that, you are treated to a hidden (and fiery) 35-minute version of Legendary Dead Shows of the ‘80s “Scarlet Begonias”/”Fire on the Mountain” from a show at the same venue hailing from 1979, as well as a very tight first set winding up with a rollicking “Deal!” A good one for fans of Brent Myd- • Features an Amazing Second Set Sequence of land, too.

  • Andrew Dice Clay
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 25, 2009 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS ANDREW DICE CLAY LIVE AT THE RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31 Richmond, BC – Andrew Dice Clay made a career out of being the most outrageous comic of his time. Before Dave Chappelle and before South Park, Dice was shocking audiences … breaking the rules with a never-before- seen style of hardcore comedy. He became the man to hate by every PC group in America. His rise to fame was meteoric — sold-out arenas, platinum albums, starring roles in films and TV specials. Dice has had his ups and downs throughout his career. At one point he was banned for life from MTV which ended up making him more popular than Madonna at the time. In 2007, Dice starred in the VH1 series, Dice Undisputed where his controversial macho image often collided with his real family life and the man behind all the limericks and leather was in a fight all his own. There he was … a devoted father of two teenage rocker sons dealing with a broken marriage, living with his new fiancée, Eleanor and then facing the everyday challenges of middle age. Recently he appeared on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice 2 … the charity he chose to play for was “StandUp For Kids” — a non-profit organization for homeless at-risk youth. He still enjoys performing his unconventional stand- up show to sold out audiences across North America. It’s been said that what you will see on stage is a very talented actor-comedian who will most likely shock you with what he has to say.
