“I’ve made a lot of bad decisions, and few were worse than the ones I made for my new ‘Crash And Burn’ tour,” he says on the venue’s website. “What’s so fun about this new multimedia show is that you don’t just hear the ridiculous stories of my latest, dumbest, unbelievably naughty exploits … you see them happen for yourself … completely uncensored!”
