Charlie Sheen Tour Reviews

Charlie Sheen, the highest paid star of "Two and a Half Men" was fired. He took his "act" on the road for the "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" show in various cities across the US. Below is a summary of some of the reviews followed by Sheen's YouTube video, "Charlie Sheen: The Unedited Version."   See Charlie Sheen Fan Club

Tuesday April 5 Cleveland Show:
Janet Nguyen, Full Story, Excerpts:
Sheen was mercilessly booed and heckled Saturday night in Detroit where he kicked off his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour. He revamped the show for his stop in Chicago Sunday night with much better results. He kept the same format for his third stop in Cleveland Tuesday night.
...
Not even 10 minutes into the show, Clevelanders began to chant "F--- Detroit."
...
Another round of cheers and "F--- LeBron" chants took place.
..
Of course the show couldn't end without a discussion about the hit CBS show, "Two and a Half Men," from which Sheen was fired last month for his erratic behavior. Sheen said he would like to rehired back on the show and would be willing to apologize to the show's producers. However, because he is such a good actor, the producers would never know if it was sincere or fake, Sheen joked.
...
The 120-minute show may not have been a true, comedic performance, but it was a perfect act for Charlie Sheen. Although I wasn't impressed with the show's format and content, the Cleveland crowd ate up everything Sheen was dishing out, from the catchphrases (winning!) to the random topics and rambling rants. He ended the show the same way he started it—with a standing ovation.
Overall, a very positive review.

Friday April 8 New York City Show:
Frazier Moore, Full Story, excerpts:
Sure, if Charlie's learn-as-you-go tour were long enough, he might eventually get the hang of it. His learning curve climb has doubtless raised him a few notches since his heroically disastrous opening night in Detroit a week ago — by all reports, the sort of show that is so awful that its witnesses can proudly boast of having been there.
...
The audience that filled Radio City Music Hall's 6,000 seats seemed initially to be a welcoming bunch.
...
What began as supportive yelps and squeals had grown into an inattentive hubbub.
To his credit, Sheen was unfazed by the heckling, though he wondered aloud why people don't plan better. Like, plan to "drink less and not yell at the guy you've been waiting six weeks to see."
At the 45-minute mark, Sheen and Scoleri took a break while his video, "Charlie Sheen Unedited," (already viewed on YouTube more than 1.3 million times) unreeled.
