Sheen booed off stage in New York

CHARLIE SHEEN left the stage 30 minutes early at his show in New York on Friday night (08Apr11) after audience members heckled him throughout the performance.

The former Two and a Half Men star is currently touring with his My Violent Torpedo Of Truth/Death Is Not An Option tour.

The performances have received mixed reactions from audiences, and the crowd at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall was less than impressed with Sheen, according to TMZ.com.

During the show, Sheen received boos from the audience after declaring he had quit drugs. The actor went on to fuel his public war of words with Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre by daring the TV boss to join him onstage at the venue on Sunday (10Apr11). He said, "(Let's) work this s**t out. Of course I want my job back man!"

Sheen also poked fun at his Wall Street director Oliver Stone, joking, "I'll buy an Academy Award from Oliver Stone 'cause he's now broke. His movies now suck! Anyone seen Wall Street 2?"

The website reports the actor's jokes fell flat - he was scheduled for a 75 minute slot, but left the stage after just 45 minutes due to heckling from the theatregoers.
