    After an awful opening night, the star won over crowds during his second stint on stage

    After being booed off stage on the opening night of his Torpedo of Truth tour, Disgraced Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen won over audiences during his second standup show, receiving a standing ovation for his efforts.

    The outlandish actor kicked off his 12-date live tour – with 'goddesses' Bree Olsen and Natalie Kenly in tow - in Detroit over the weekend, but it seems the sorry star didn’t get off to a brilliant start.

    Sheen was jeered by heckled by fans during the two hour-long show, which included stories from Hollywood, a Q&A session, and a montage of video clips. Rapper Snoop Dogg, billed as the show's 'special guest' failed to show up.

    ‘I was hoping for something. I didn't think it would be this bad,’ one fan, who paid a whopping $150 for two tickets, told reporters.

    But the actor slammed critics and hit back at baying fans, telling one: ‘I've already got your money, dude.’

    Disastrous first night aside, it seems things may be looking up for the star. He received a standing ovation – and rave reviews - during a second standup show in Chicago.

    Charlie announced he would be hitting the road, with the show, Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option, last month.

    Charlie later added a string of new shows to the impromptu tour, including appearances in Cleveland and Colombus, Ohio, New York, Conneticut and Boston.

    '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?!?!' an online statement about the event read.

    'This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock. Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me.' Need we say more?
