Charlie Sheen Booed at First Show

Truth rating: 10

Charlie Sheen gave a far from “winning” performance at the first of his 20-city show, “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option.”

In fact, his “Torpedo” show bombed.

Sheen was booed throughout his nonsensical show at Detroit’s Fox Theatre, which lasted barely an hour and was marked by audience members walking out and yelling, “Refund.”

Sheen’s performance didn’t even make sense to him. He said at one point, ”Is anybody as confused by this s**t as I am? The good news is, I wrote every f**kin’ word.”

The disastrous show started off with a standing ovation when he took the stage, but quickly went downhill when the former “Two and a half Men” star started making jokes about crack cocaine use in Detroit.

“I figured Detroit was a good place to tell some crack stories,” Sheen told the audience, adding, “Show of hands: Who here has tried crack? Forget that. Who is holding crack right now? I don’t do crack anymore, but I’m just saying.”

More boos.

Sheen’s show also featured a question-and-answer session and video clips of some of his films.

A little later, the actor took out a sheet of paper to tell a story, but then told the crowd, ”I’m not going to read it with so much disruption.”

Sheen acknowledged onstage, “Tonight is an experiment.”

Yes, but an experiment that went bad.

    well, let’s think about it…….. charlie HAS/HAD EVERY SINGLE LINE WRITTEN FOR HIM ON THM! He is NOT A COMEDIAN, He was on a show that WAS A COMEDY! BIG DIFFERENCE, BUT, his small, damaged mind could not fathom that. I guess, even when he showed up were ever Drew Carey was doing his show and Charlie got on stage with Drew, Ryan, etc it NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND that what he did and DREW CAREY DOES (I am not talking about hosting the Price is Right) is Different! I have no idea how Charlie was, I don’t have Game Show Network, but it might have been good, but it was probably for , what, 3,4 MINUTES? AND DREW WAS LEADING IT??????? But, again, Sheen is mentally ill and cannot see the difference, Carey does not attack, he makes people laugh, he is fast on his feet, and his previous show, the ‘drew carey show’ was based ON HIM!. I do not know who paid for tkts, who got them free, DON’T CARE! It is their own fault for buying them, spending their time down their.

    How is Charlie getting ready for his world class world tour? Check out the fact-based “Day in the Life of Charlie Sheen” on The Loop Now. You’ll be glad you did.

    I can’t believe that people actually bought tickets to see him. But I guess some folks like to see train wrecks.

    People need to stop enabling Charlie. He is in bad need of psychiatric help. Unfortunate the folks around him like him that way so they can take advantage of him and his wealth. I bet if he didn’t have any money – there would be fewer people encouraging him. It is so sad and pathetic.

    Please Charlie – get some help so you’ll live to see your children grow up.

    Did people actually think he would have a rehearsed show to entertain? The audience should boo itself and kick themselves in the butt for paying. What you see is what you get. Him being there was entertainment enough.

    If you are willing to spend money for idiocy…you richly deserve exactly that! Charlie Sheen is an idiotic parody of a real person but in his drug addled mind, he is a genius, a warlock and is winning! If those people bought into all the hype and talk of ninja, tiger’s blood flaming fists of truth bologna, they deserve to be ripped of. What they don’t deserve is a refund, no matter how quickly they left the theater after Charlie took the stage.
    P.T. Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute and apparently many of them live in Detroit,MI.

    Can’t believe people actually expected anything other than disaster. Takes a sick person to pay to watch someone sick self distruct.

    My opinion for what its worth is Charlie Sheen seems to somehow fancy himself a comic. He either knows what he’s doing, ie method in his madness or he is simply mad (mentally ill, bipolar, ) and doesn’t know what he’s doing. I wonder where his handlers are and they know what they’re doing. I work for a psychiatrist who is the director of the “Mood and Anxiety Clinic of the University of PA. He most definitely thinks Charlie Sheen is bipolar. OTOH As excellent an expert the physician is he never personally psychiatricly examined Mr. Sheen. This somewhat reminds of a certain actor with the initials JP. First name Joaquin, last name Phoenix when Dr. Dobransky labeled him schizophrenic based on the Letterman show. 2/9/9.
    Bottom line is I hope Charlie Sheen gets the help he seems to need.

    he’s not going to get help if his family doesn’t intervene

    I really wonder what people who bought tickets expected to see. They are getting exactly what they paid for- more ranting by someone who is sick and needs help. It is so sad….if Charlie hadn’t already blown his career, he has now that the public realizes he really has lost it. I think “gapeach” said it best…..the comments were right on. The other theatres would do well to cancel their “evenings with Charlie”.

    He needs help, He is a self-destructive person. I hope this episode helps to ground him and seeks for real help.

    I hope this continues to happen, it’s the only thing that will make him see that he’s become the joke. People are laughinh at him not with him.

    Charlie was great at what he did. Those days are gone. Right now I think he seriously needs professional help. All that I think we can do right now is pray for him.
