Winning them over! Charlie Sheen strips off on stage in Chicago and receives a standing ovation as he recovers from awful first night

By Daily Mail Reporter


Laid bare: Charlie Sheen has another stab at his one-man show, this time in Chicago, where his performance was received far more positively than his opening night


He was booed and heckled as he made his one-man show debut in Detroit.

But Charlie Sheen managed to get back on top last night and received a standing ovation in Chicago.

The actor took to the stage with a revamped show that was completely different in every way from the opening night that saw him booed offstage in Detroit.


Sheen arrived onstage fifteen minutes late after the crowd started a 'Detroit sucks' chant.

And as well as relying on a completely new format - with a Q&A rather than solo rants - Sheen also pulled attention-grabbing stunts to win over fans.

At one point he stripped off his shirt, swapping it with a man in the audience, before pulling his 'goddesses' on stage and kissing them.

His performance featured fewer video clips than his first show.

Sheen told stories about how he was supposed to be in The Karate Kid, but declined after advice from his father Martin Sheen, and smoking weed with Chris Penn, according to celebrity website TMZ.

And he said he would consider returning to Two And A Half Men if he was offered the chance.

But he lashed out at the show's makers, branding them 'blood suckers'. He did however have good words to say about co-star Jon Cryer, whom he called a 'rock star'.

During the question and answer session Sheen jokingly defended his decision to pay prostitutes for sex.

He justified it by saying: 'Because I had millions to blow [and] I ran out of things to buy'.

At the end of the performance he received a standing ovation, according to audience members who tweeted from the event at the 3,600-seat Chicago Theater, which reportedly sold out last night.

Earlier, crowds of fans erupted into thunderous applause as Sheen's megabus arrived at the theatre.

The star handed out shirts and jerseys to the excited crowds who had waited for hours in the cold.

The former star of Two And A Half Men greeted the fans alongside his girlfriend Natalie Kenly. His other girlfriend Bree Olsen was not with them.

One small boy from the Emonds family in Indiana was given a Charlie Sheen brand baseball jersey that read SHEEN on the back.

The father, who posed with his two sons outside the theatre, was not aware that Sheen had been booed off the stage in Detroit until told of the incident by reporters.

In Detroit, Sheen's 70-minute show hadn't even ended when the first reviews were in, and they were brutal.

Angry fans booed the actor, demanding their money back, but Sheen was unapologetic, telling one audience member: ‘I've already got your money, dude.’

Sheen is going to need it, since he was fired from his $2million an episode job on the CBS comedy show Two And A Half Men.

Twitter was awash with comments from the audience, with the hash-tag 'bombing' becoming one of the most tweeted.

The capacity crowd at the 5,100-seat Fox Theater in Detroit rebelled before Sheen left the stage, chanting ‘refund!’ and walking out in droves.

Linda Fugate, 47, from Lincoln Park, Detroit, walked up and down the block outside, shouting: ‘I want my money back!’

She said she had paid $150 for two seats.

She said: ‘I was hoping for something. I didn't think it would be this bad.’

Meanwhile Sheen and his ex-wife Brooke Mueller have finally formalised the custody arrangements for their twin sons, Bob and Max.

According to TMZ.com the agreement includes the rule that both parents must submit to random drug testing three times a month.

Both must also have their regular nannies with them at all times when they have the children.

As for Sheen's 'goddesses', the agreement states that they cannot show public displays of affection toward the twins. Sheen and Miss Mueller cannot be photographed around the children with a romantic counterpart.

One fan bemoaned: 'I expected him to at least entertain a little bit. It was just a bunch of ranting'

As far as physical custody goes, for the first two months, Sheen will have the twins every other weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. For the next two months he will have the twins every other weekend from Saturday morning until Monday morning.

The next phase, according to TMZ, is dependent on Sheen and Miss Mueller both remaining drug and alcohol free. Sheen will then have the twins every other weekend from Saturday morning until Monday morning and from Wednesday morning until Thursday morning.
