We don't need to be jealous of Detroit or Chicago anymore, because Charlie Sheen is taking his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour to NYC. He'll be at Radio City Music Hall on April 8 (a Friday night!) and tickets go on sale tomorrow—they are $79 (plus a $14.35 fee) and $109 (plus a $17.55 fee). Here's the show's description:
My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show is coming for you. I'm going on the road. LIVE. Will there be surprises? Will there be guests? Will there be mayhem? Will you ask questions? Will you laugh? Will you scream? Will you know the truth? WILL THERE BE MORE?!?! This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock. Bring it I dare you to keep up with me. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES 18+ OVER
Charlie Sheen will be donating $1.00 from each ticket for the "Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Tour" to the Japanese Earthquake Relief Fund. For more information on how your proceeds are being used please contact the Red Cross at www.redcross.org.
Insanity AND charity—yay! We'll have to ask the Mayor's office if Bloomberg will show up with his tigerblood.
The last time Sheen was in NYC, he trashed a room at the Plaza and made his adult film star date lock herself in a bathroom because she was so freaked out by his behavior.
