The kudos keep pouring in for Andrew Dice Clay. Not only that, but Dice is still breaking all the rules and proving he is the undisputed heavyweight comedy king.
At this year's Pollstar Concert Industry Awards, held February 7th at Nokia Theatre, Dice held the entire audience captive with a totally unplanned and unexpected performance.
Dice had agreed to be a presenter and not perform because The Smothers Brothers, who were the hosts, were promised that no other comedians would be performing on the award show besides themselves.
That's all Dice had to hear; he swore he was going to make a performance that no one in the audience was going to forget.
And you should have seen the horror on the faces from the Award show organizers and some of the presenters backstage like The Smothers Brothers, Donovan, Juliette Lewis and Debbie Gibson. The only thing Tommy Smothers could muster after Dice's impromptu performance was, "What the fuck!"
But Dice knew what he was doing all the time. To quote Pollstar.com, "...the big surprise was Andrew Dice Clay. After psyching himself up backstage, the Diceman provided 10 minutes of new material that pretty much killed. Certainly, some in the audience were offended, but that's to be expected from the only comic to be permanently banned from MTV!"
At the end of evening, concert promoters from around the country were telling Dice how he "made the entire night" and asking "how soon can we book you?"
Afterwards, Dice told his agent, "Did you expect anything else from me. We will be playing arenas before you know it!" |
