Andrew Dice Clay started as a" dirty" comedian like Richard Pryor, but very soon discovered that, once he ran out of jokes, he could still get lots of personal enjoyment out of picking on members of the audience. He actually developed it into an art form - he made people so uncomfortable that they actually got up and left his shows. And he was PROUD of it! Because it was something brand new - and something he was GOOD at! And ... the former "dirty comedian like Richard Pryor" quickly metamorphosed into one of the most verbally abusive and confrontational performance artists that the entertainment beeswax has ever known. And nobody got it. They just wanted to hear dirty nursery rhymes.

Outrageous, misogynistic and vulgar-to-the-max comedian Andrew Dice Clay does his stuff in this combination stand-up concert video and series of comedy sketches. The sketches, demonstrating that The Dice Man used to be a klutzy wimp, begin the film which then jumps into a filled-to-capacity performance at Madison Square Gardens. The film contains strong profanity, blatant racist remarks, graphic references to sex and other "adult" subjects. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Often compared to Lenny Bruce and Andrew Dice Clay for her unapologetic, politically incorrect style, Sarah Silverman has been called one of comedy's most provocative and creative personalities. In the film, Silverman performs her act before a sometimes-shocked but ever-amazed live audience and tackles such taboo topics as 9/11, the Holocaust and bigotry and spins them into comic gold.
