Former “Two and a Half Men” actor, Charlie Sheen took to the stage Saturday for the first leg of his “Torpedo of Truth” tour but left the stage a big failure to entertain his thousands of audience.

Accompanied by whom he referred to as his ‘goddesses’, the actor, said the Associated Press began the show in Detroit ‘with a thunderous applause’ but it was not for long before the applause died down as the 70-minute show dragged on with ‘very unhappy audience’.

A 47-year old spectator who bought two tickets for $150 was heard by the Associated Press yelling as she was walking outside of the Fox Theatre.

“I want my money back,” Linda Fugate of the Detroit suburb of Lincoln Park was quoted by the Associated Press as yelling after the show.

Fugate added, "I was hoping for something. I didn't think it would be this bad."

And Fugate’s sentiments are shared by thousands of others who came to see Charlie Sheen delivered his promise, for a night of “Truth”.

What they got are were the same rants Sheen was heard saying over the internet and on a number of television programs at U.S. major television networks he visited for spontaneous interviews beginning last week of February until the first week of March.

One audience told the Associated Press that rants were there, alright, but were just ‘not funny’.

"I expected him to at least entertainment a little bit. It was just a bunch of ranting," 34-year-old Rodney Gagnon from Windsor, Ontario told the Associated Press.

The Associated Press noted that some of the fans waiting outside the theatre said that they were ‘hoping to see the increasingly eccentric actor deliver some of the colorful rants that have made him an internet star’.

Some of the fans even flew in for the show with high expectations. An estimated five thousand audience filled the 5,100-seat Fox Theatre, the actor said Associated Press claimed: "I don't see a single empty seat"

This was prompted by a loud boo from an audience member to which the actor replied saying, "I've already got your money, dude."

Before Sheen and his entourage left the stage the thousands of audience left who stayed at the last minute rebelled and was chanting ‘refund!’

The Associated Press noted that Charlie Sheen’s first night of his ‘Torpedo’ tour simply means one thing: that he may be a success on tube as a comedian but it doesn’t mean he could be great on stage.
