LOS ANGELES - Charlie Sheen is set to clean up with his dirty live show.

The fired star of "Two and a Half Men" is expected to bank a cool $7 million from the 21 dates on his newly expanded comedy tour, paid after-party appearances and merchandising, TMZ.com reports.

But will the adults-only show - titled "Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" - be worth the price of admission?

Co-producer Joey Scoleri told E! that ticket-holders can expect something akin to "Muhammad Ali in his prime."

Sheen, 45, has no script, will take the stage with just a microphone and "will probably do most of it from memory, he's that talented," Scoleri said.

Each 1-hour, 10-minute show will be different and will have some audience participation - probably a Q&A, he said.

Sheen's "goddesses" - his live-in girlfriends - will come along for the ride but may not appear on stage.

The show added a dozen new cities Friday.

He's set to play Radio City Music Hall April 8 and 10, and Ticketmaster still had some seats available Friday.

Sheen went from sitcom star to cult hero after he trash-talked his "Two and a Half Men" bosses for daring to suggest he was partying too hard. They canned him from the $2-million-per-episode gig.
