Today, Monday By the Numbers hits the remote for “Dice,” the series starring Andrew Dice Clay set to premiere Sunday at 9:30 p.m. on Showtime.
Following up on what we’ll call a “lingering” scoop, Clay is planning a one-off show at Tropicana Theater at 10 p.m. May 28 as part of a planned Laugh Factory Concert Series.
In this schematic, Clay would be the first in a series of headliners to play weekend dates after performances of “Raiding the Rock Vault.”
Comedy has been a solid sell at the Trop, with the regular rotation of comics at Laugh Factory — featuring the esteemed Harry Basil, who also manages the club — and a 7 p.m. residency for venerable impressionist Rich Little.
Let’s figure these figures:
900: Seats sold by Clay in three shows in the 300-capacity Laugh Factory (yes, that means three sellouts).
1,100: Total capacity of Tropicana Theater.
19,000:Total capacity of Madison Square Garden.
2: Consecutive performances Clay sold out at MSG in 1990.
2: Shows added for “Alice – A Steampunk Rock Concert” at Brooklyn Bowl in the Linq Promenade.

1 million+: Units The Roots’ breakthrough album, “Things Fall Apart,” from 1999 have sold.
$75 million: Amount spent on the renovations to Julius Tower at Caesars Palace.
587: Rooms at that tower.
$139: Starting rate for rooms at Julius Tower (not including fees).
$99-$139: Ticket prices to “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace (not including fees).
$155: Monthly, all-access membership to Xcycle indoor cycling studio at Boca Park
36: Schwinn-model stationary bikes at Xcycle.
$60,000: Value of the sound system at the business.
