Charlie Sheen Booed in Detroit, Revamps Chicago Show
April 4, 2011 By 1 Comment
The Detroit “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour opening night probably wasn’t what Charlie Sheen would call “winning”… Now remember this show sold out in 18 minutes. Did show goers get their monies worth or were they left severely disappointed?
According to several media sources, the show began with an audience Q&A with Charlie answering questions like his favorite porn star and about crack cocaine. The he played an interview clip he did for the network and ripped it apart. The beginning got loud cheers, but later when he related crack use to the city of Detroit in a joke the crowd started to turn on him. At this point the audience started to boo Charlie. Charlie called in backup from Simon Rex (Um, seriously? He’s still around?) who came on stage to rap. Again the crowd was not pleased and people were seen leaving…
Per Huffinton Post:
“I was hoping for something. I didn’t think it would be this bad,” said Fugate, a 47-year-old from Lincoln Park, Mich.
“Brutal. I expected him to at least entertain a little bit,” said Rodney Gagnon, 34, of Windsor, Ontario.
So what was Charlie’s next plan to save himself? He started to play the track he recorded with Snoop Dog called “Winning.” The crowd began to cheer, but when neither Charlie nor Snoop came on stage they began to boo again!Then most of the crowd began walking out of the show. Charlie invited those that stayed to move closer. He complained about the quality of the audio and then walked off stage. Yikes!!! Seriously, what a train wreck. Total time of the show — Less than one hour!
What did these people expect? Seriously. I feel bad for them loosing out on their hard earned cash, but buying a ticket to his show is like buying a ticket to a Freak Show taking place in a back alley with features like the “Amazing One Headed Goat” or “The World’s Tallest Midget” and being pissed when it turns out to be a goat and some random guy chain smoking.
But while Sheen’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour did miserable in Detroit, sources say that he might have redeemed himself in Chicago. Apparently Sheen decide to “get back to basics” for his second show, staying up until 4am Sunday morning to rework the live act. Taking the stage with a standing ovation as the crowd chanted, “Detroit sucks, Detroit sucks,” Sheen urged the crowd to listen when he talked and not be like Detroit.
Per TMZ:
Show definitely has a different feel than last night. Instead of Charlie on stage by himself, he has an interviewer of sorts asking him questions.
He made it to the intermission with no booing and told more stories of his drug use and partying. Just like the interviews that started all this – Sheen figured it would help put him in the “zone” for some crazier nutbar rants. The show ended with another standing ovation from the crowd.

Charlie Sheen’s Live Tour Sells Out
March 15, 2011 By 1 Comment
If Charlie Sheen is suffering a mental breakdown, it might be the most profitable breakdown in history. The recently-fired “Two and a Half Men” star is taking his “they fired me” schtick on the road, with a series of live comedy performances. Last week two dates were announced for a ‘Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option‘ tour and tickets went on sale this past Saturday. Both shows, one in Chicago and the other in Detroit, sold out in 10 minutes, in what Ticketmaster calls ‘record-breaking!’ I guess this just proved that people aren’t sick of Sheen’s craziness because they are willing to spend their hard-earned money to see him live. Since ticket sales did so well, it looks like his tour is expanding to more cities. Rumor has it his tour will grow to 20-30 more cities including some European and Australian dates. So if you were disappointed that he wasn’t coming to your city, perhaps good news will be on the way later this week. A source says that Madison Square Garden is trying to book a date even though “that’s not the ideal venue size for Charlie,” but he’s open to it. As for what we can expect to see on his live tour:
Per 411 Mania:
A source says, “Charlie is first and foremost an actor. There will be a lot of scripted material, plus videos, interactive audience material, the whole range of things that play off Charlie’s strengths. There will be light and dark moments. People will not be disappointed.”
After hearing the news of his sold out show Sheen tweeted “Fastball; Detroit/Chicago sold out in minutes… Thanks to Sheen’s Cadre..! #WINNING”. Since he was fired by CBS, Sheen has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre, co-creator of the show. Trouble began after Sheen sought treatment for substance abuse, and the show was put on hiatus in late January. But after he started zinging Lorre in the media, CBS suspended him.
Judging from his behavior in recent weeks, I’m sure we can expect rambling monologues that trash his former co-stars, along with plenty of cigarette-smoking. I am seriously wondering what he is possibly going to do with his “WINNING” comedy tour. Whatever else, it will undoubtedly be a break from reality. Still I am curious, and I may actually have to buy tickets and go just for the pure entertainment factor of it.
