He’s known as the “Undisputed Bad Boy of Comedy,” and his tirades of four-letter words have been known to make even a trucker blush! Tomorrow night, hardcore comedy king Andrew Dice Clay goes up close and in your face in the most intimate and chic comedy venue ever created for Vegas. He takes over Sushi Samba’s SugarCane ultra lounge in the Palazzo and turns it into SugarCane Live!

The Diceman is the debut comedy performer from tomorrow through April 5 of a new series of comedy stars playing there this spring. He comes to SugarCane after his own HBO shock series Down and Dirty and from being kicked off Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice for his outrageous politically incorrect comedy antics.

Last time the Diceman was in town, he turned the tables on me backstage while I interviewed him, and I wound up in the reality series he was filming of his life on the road. The comic doesn’t shy away from the fact that his take-no-prisoners style is not for the faint of heart. He’s proud to be known as one of America’s most controversial and outrageous comics.

When he arrives to the stage tomorrow night, he will be greeted with a sweet surprise. Sushi Samba pastry chef Jill Montinola is whipping up 200 cupcakes that he won’t have to frost himself. It was his bad cup-caking morale that got him fired by The Donald! Instead, Dice will hand out the cupcakes to his first-night audience.
