Charlie Sheen Warned Not to Smoke on Stage in Toronto or Face Arrest and Fines

Thursday, April 14, 2011

Poor Charlie Sheen.

Earlier today he was chastised by the Warner Bros lawyers for talking about returning to “Two and a Half Men”, and now the Canadian Smoking Police have issued him a stern warning about smoking on stage during his show tonight.

Massey Hall and Toronto city regulations prohibit smoking cigarettes while on stage. Since Sheen is an “on stage” chain smoker this could be by far the hardest show he has ever done.

Ontario Health Promotion Minister Margarett Best said public health inspectors will be watching to make sure Sheen doesn't smoke on stage at Massey Hall during his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” show.

Sheen, one of the stars of the cancelled television show “Two and a Half Men” tweeted on Wednesday that he was looking forward to "winning" with Torontonians.

Good luck with that.

Charlie Sheen at New York’s Radio City Music Hall – BAD – Review

Saturday, April 9, 2011

Charlie Sheen continued his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” road show tonight at Radio City Music Hall in beautiful New York City.

How can New York not like Uncle Charley, right?

Charlie tells everyone that he will be donating $1.00 from each ticket to the Japanese Earthquake Relief Fund. We do know that ticket prices dropped like a rock for this show with most selling for about $30 instead of the listed price of $125.

Again, the show started over a half hour late, and Sheen immediately started answering questions yelled out from the audience. It all seemed very unorganized.

His moderator, Joey Scoleri, who is never formally introduced, has to tell the liquored up crowd to be quite so Charlie can talk.

But after forty-five-minutes of crack, hooker, drugs, and partying stories the crowd started to grow impatient. Sheen then showed his edited version of the 20/20 interview that you can watch right here for free.

When Sheen returned the audience really let him have it. They booed, the hissed, the heckled and they walked out. This seems to be the standard routine of his last four shows.

After a few final stale stories and references to warlocks, tiger blood, and Adonis DNA he walked off the stage. There was no standing ovation, but only an audience that seemed to sit in amazement that the show was over.

People started shuffling out with a look of confusion on their faces. It was clear that Charlie did not make a good impression with New Yorkers.

All you had to do was ask and they told you.

Unfortunately, Sheen still has 16 shows left. Next stop is Saturday Night in Wallingford, Connecticut.

Can it keep being this bad?

Charlie Sheen Show #3 in Cleveland – Review

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

Okay. Everybody update your Charlie Sheen scoreboard as follows:

Detroit – Disaster
Chicago – Better
Cleveland – Winning!

After again rewriting much of his flailing live show, and being booed off the stage in Detroit, Charlie Sheen gave his third live show a go in Cleveland Tuesday night.

His "Violent Torpedo of Truth Defeat Is Not an Option" show at the State Theater at Playhouse Square in Cleveland was met with an audience more accepting of his comedy.

Sheen kicked things of by taking questions from the audience through a moderator. People just yelled questions out to him.

But fans were actually laughing and not booing this time. He told jokes about the “weed” in Cleveland, he paraded his Goddesses, he talked about his dad Martin Sheen, and dealt with hecklers like a pro.

In the end, Sheen ended with a standing ovation – finally.

After bombing with his first two shows, it looks like what they say is true: “The third time is the charm”

Now, can he still finish a winner after the remaining 16 shows?

Critics Worry about Charlie Sheens Upcoming 'My Violent Torpedo of Truth' Live Shows – Is He Ready?

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

With just a few days left before Charlie Sheen takes to the stage with his 2011 live show “Violent Torpedo of Truth” in Detroit, critics are starting to wonder what he will unveil to audiences.

While little is known about the content of the shows, Sheen has tweeted a pic of Snoop Dog at his house presumably laying down some music tracks for the show.

The problem, critics say, is that while Sheen has made a big splash with all his “tiger blood” talk and television appearances last month – they have all been done WITHOUT an audience present.

“Standing on a stage for two hours trying to make everybody laugh might be harder than Charlie thinks”, says one critic.

“If a joke bombs, or he says something derogatory about women or working people, the audience could turn on him really fast. He didn’t have to deal with people booing, yelling, or throwing things at him when he was on TV.”

“People are going to go to the show with a certain expectation based on what they have seen from Charlie. If he fails to deliver, it could get really ugly really fast. If the first couple of shows bomb, it will be an uphill battle to complete the series and sell the tickets”.

“He should have done a few smaller gigs to test out his material and see how the crowds react. Not everybody is going to find his jokes funny. Not everybody is going to “get” the show”.

In fact, if you look at the replies to Charlie’s tweets the last several weeks, you can clearly see more people seem to be just egging him on instead of lending him true support.

“There are more people looking for Charlie to fail than to succeed. To many fans of “Two and a Half Men”, he is just another super rich celebrity that has screwed everything up and is airing his dirty laundry in public.”

“Just like people slow down to see the wreck on the interstate, lots of people are going to the show just to see how bad it is and to see the train wreck in person”.

I agree - he should have tried out his material at a few smaller venues and taken a little more time to fine tune his routine. This REALLY does have the possibility to be a really bad train wreck. We will all know by the evening of April 2nd. Unfortunately, it won’t be just a bad April fool’s joke.

And for reports that Sheen’s show tickets are selling out - that turns out not to be true. Sources tell us there are still plenty of tickets. In fact, it looks like people purchased most of the tickets ONLY to try and resell them on other ticket sites for a hefty premium.

If things do go badly, it could spell the end of Charlie and his Adonis DNA.
