Charlie Sheen Sells Out Live Shows in Record Time

Charlie Sheen is embarking on some sort of live performance tour, with shows in Detroit and Chicago selling out in only 18 minutes.Charlie Sheen is slated to appear at the Detroit Fox Theater on April 2nd, then will follow up that show with another at the Chicago Theater on April 3rd. The tour was announced via Twitter on Thursday and tickets sold out for both shows in only 18 minutes once made available on Ticketmaster. The show is currently being advertised as "Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option". That certainly seems reasonable as the name of a live-performance show for the former star of Two and a Half Men.

It is entirely unclear at this point exactly what Sheen plans to provide in terms of entertainment. It's hard to imagine that he would be able to maintain a show-length rant without some sort of moderator or forum that would provide some structure. That said, Sheen may not even have a plan at this point. Selling out the live shows is just more validation that he is right, at least in his mind.

Given his penchant for strippers and adult film stars, Sheen could fill time in his show with any number of performances. At this point, people would probably be interested in simply sitting and listening to more of Sheen's articulate insanity - a one-man show devoted to all things "warlock".

Now that his ties with CBS have been officially terminated, Sheen is on his own to drive his celebrity and make his case. The issue he's facing now is that, with CBS out of the picture, it's going to be difficult for him to get people to be interested in anything other than his rants and public meltdowns. Just last week, he was a madman with a message and a cause. With the cause and the message likely being lost, Charlie may simply be mad.
