Comedians Roseanne Barr and Andrew Dice Clay announced that they will be going on tour together.
Three months after Barr and Clay appeared together onstage in Las Vegas, Clay spoke with Fox News, saying that their tour — titled the “Mr. and Mrs. America Tour” — aims to strike back at what he sees as increasing political correctness against comedians. The tour will begin this fall on the East Coast.
“She’s a comic because she’s wacky. I’ve known her since we were kids,” Clay said.
Back in March, Barr took the stage as a surprise guest during Clay’s stand-up performance at the Tropicana Laugh Factory in Las Vegas, marking her first public performance since ABC cancelled “Roseanne” back in May 2018 over a racially-charged tweet she posted about former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. Barr also lost a potential gig at the Tropicana over the tweet, as well as her representation by ICM Partners.
When asked about it, Clay says, “She’s a comic!’ We gotta stop policing comedians. This is America!”
“I was given a little flak about this, a little bullshit, when I pulled her onstage at the Laugh Factory in Vegas, but we’ve been friends for 30 years,” Clay said.
