Charlie Sheen Bombs in Wallingford Connecticut – Review

Poor Charlie Sheen.

He just can’t seem to find his grove.

Coming off disastrous shows that started in Detroit last week and ended up at Radio City Music hall last night, the fine people of Wallingford Connecticut were hoping for something better.

However, it looks like the “Torpedo of Truth – Defeat is not an Option” weapon was a dud at The Oakdale Theater.

Once again, most audience members say they should have stayed home and saved their money.

Sheen was again late to the stage, a failing that seems to be almost a standard 30 minute late entrance.

He started off with no warm-up act and just came out on the stage with his moderator and started answering questions. He never formally introduced his partner and the questions were just yelled from the audience.

There seemed to be very little organization to anything. There was a lot of drinking, and drunk people yelling “winning” and “tiger blood” – it was a zoo. Security was everywhere and you got the feeling they were ready for anything.

Sheen ranted about tiger blood, Adonis DNA, Vatican assassins, and his love of sex and drugs.

After almost 40 minutes of talking about smoking crack and partying with some of the most famous people in the world, the crowd started to grow restless.

There was booing and hissing and the moderator had to quite the audience down on more than one occasion.

There were people “escorted” out of the theater and there were signs that read “Hecklers will be removed”. That’s a bad sign when you need that kind of warning posted everywhere.

Sheen skipped over the fifteen minute movie montage that has got him into trouble at other shows, but he did show his edited parody version of his now infamous 20/20 interview.

When he returned to the stage he picked up right where he left off and started telling more stories. The crowed began to grow even more impatient and the booing intensified. Some people started to walk out.

Charlie would have to stop every now and then and try to pump up the audience by pandering to them – but that stopped working after a certain point.

More people walked out. More people booed.

Sheen made one last attempt to rally the crowd and then abruptly said “Good night everybody” to yells, boos, and hisses.

Really? That’s it? It’s over?

Last night at Radio City Music Hall Sheen was over 30 minutes late to the show and then ended 30 minutes early. Maybe word spread to Wallingford to not expect much.

I got to say, if this is what his act is going to look like for the remaining 15 or so shows, Charlie’s got a problem. By the time he gets to the end he is either going to have lost all of his fans, or be dead – or both?

Just talking to people as they left the theater it was clear that Sheen had a hard time satisfying the people at The Oakdale Theatre.

Sheen is back in New York at Radio City Music Hall Sunday night and then off to Boston on Tuesday.

One of these shows is going to end in a disaster that we will all hear about on the eleven-o’clock news.

Charlie Sheen’s Chicago Show Improves – Fans Don’t Boo and Walk Out – Review

Well, it looks like Charlie Sheen is batting zero these days.

His live “Torpedo of Truth Defeat is Not an Option” show in Chicago Sunday night was almost as bad as his debut show in Detroit on Saturday night.

Once again, fans listened to stories about smoking pot and partying with rock stars but tonight Sheen took questions from an onstage interviewer, and there was more structure then last night.

He talked about spending millions on prostitutes and smoked cigarettes profusely the entire show. He also said he could see a time when he returned to Two and a Half Men. Yea right.

All-in-all, it seemed to be a better show than last night. There was no booing, hissing, fighting, and yelling like in Detroit.

One unhappy fan related:

“It was not that funny. Chicago is known for some of the best comedy and Improv in the country and this was just an insult to our city”

The show appeared to have changed somewhat from last night in Detroit, and there were subtle attempts to remove things that enraged the audience the night before. Like no opening stand up comedy act.

But in the end, it was Charlie Sheen on stage in front of 3,600 booing audience members listening to him ramble on about tiger blood, winning, Adonis DNA, trolls, Vatican assigns, crack cocaine, whores, and partying.

After the show, Sheen took to his Twitter account saying:

"#TruthTorpedo hello windy city..!!! Thank you for the HERO's welcome!! I'll bring it... c"

This is actually a little eerie as things are progressing just as we suspected they would last week when we contemplated what Sheen might have up his sleeve.

What Is The End Game?

Unfortunately, we now have to ask “What’s next for Charlie?”

Does he finish his remaining 18 live shows?
Does he bail out and walk away from the whole mess?
Can he get out without being sued by a 1000 people?
Does he, can he, go back to Two and a Half Men?
Will he end up in the hospital?
Will he even make it out alive?

We don’t see ANY WAY he can complete his commitment for the remaining shows.

In fact, we suspect he will end up in the hospital fairly soon with a standard case of super-secret “Charlie-itis” that will prevent him (and give him an excuse) from going on.

If he falls off the wagon and starts smoking crack or doing meth again – this will just hasten his trip to the emergency room.

TicketMaster and LiveNation have made it clear however (in the fine print on tickets) that NO REFUNDS will be given unless Sheen is unable to reschedule another show within a year.

Good luck with that.

But what about the press?

Sheen absolutely must be gearing up for the barrage of press that is going to hit Monday during the prime-time news cycles. Every station in every city is going to be running “Sheen Bombs” stories – including CNN, Fox News, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and countless others.

And what about websites like TMZ? They are going to have a field day with all this and it will only ramp up as the week progresses.

At some point, Sheen himself will have to come forward and personally address how he thinks things are going.

It will be brutal to watch. A full-blown break down or melt down cannot be too far off in the distance. Then maybe he can get the help he really needs.
