Andrew Dice Clay with Billy Gardell

Andrew Dice Clay is proud to be one of America's most controversial and outrageous comics. Quite simply, Dice is 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’s sold-out hundreds of arenas all across the country and was the only performer ever “Banned for Life from MTV” (a ban which has since been lifted). Dice has released numerous gold and platinum-selling albums including the Rick Rubin-produced The Day The Laughter Died (among the five releases Rubin produced for Dice); best-selling DVDs (Dice Rules!); and also starred in several one-hour HBO, pay per view, and Showtime stand-up specials including No Apologies, The Diceman Cometh, and Indestructible.
Billy Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town lounge, military base and comedy club along the way. His comedy act took him to Los Angeles where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, allowed him to grow consistently in both arenas. His grounded, down-to-earth point of view strikes a strong chord with his audiences. Stories about his rough childhood, wild adolescence and family life are executed with the skill of a master craftsman.
As an actor, Billy Gardell starred in the CBS series Bob Hearts Abishola, and Mike & Molly, alongside Melissa McCarthy. Both shows from award-winning creator, executive producer and writer Chuck Lorre. In addition, he starred as Col. Tom Parker in the CMT series, Sun Records and had a recurring role the CBS hit series, Young Sheldon.
