| - Last night husband and I saw Andrew Dice Clay, and I'm not completely sure how to review it. This was one of those shows where I felt like had we been completely hammered, through alcohol, drugs, or anything else, this would have been a five star show. Most of the audience was on something. Some people were breaking glasses, one guy came up and sat next to my husband and screamed and passed out. We thought he would puke at some point and were waiting for it to happen, sadly he disappointed us.
As for Andrew Dice Clay himself, well he's pretty disgusting. But this is how people expect him to be, since he's a self-proclaimed pop-culture icon from the 1990's. I suspected that most of what he did last night was completely a fake act to make a living. I'm not downgrading him for it mind you, as I wish I could get up and rip the shit out of people in the most disgusting manner and get paid money for it. It takes incredible talent to rip on people the way he does and is what sets him apart from other comedians, as he's just merciless in the most unimaginable way.
Yes, he does his poems before he signs off, and he has an opening act who is a bit funny but reminds me of a Lisa Lampanelli knock off. She's filthy and acts slutty in the same exact way, but after the show she helps sell Andrew Dice Clays T-shirts and meets everyone and was very nice.
Was this worth the money? The tickets get a little pricey at between $50 for general admission and $100 to sit in the Dice Pit, guaranteeing that he'll notice you and rip you a new asshole in public. If getting insanely fucked up and getting ripped on from a pop-culture icon from the 1990's with a bunch of your friends is your idea of fun, then yes it is worth every penny.
