STEVE-O: THE BUCKET LIST TOUR

September 7, 2023 By c71558x1

ADULTS ONLY

Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) was willing to do whatever it took to become famous, even if it meant stapling his b***sack to his leg.

After failing miserably at the University of Miami, Steve-O was a homeless couch-surfer for three years before he attended Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, to help further his goal of becoming a famous stuntman.

His relentless attention-wh*ring ultimately led to working with Johnny Knoxville on a stunt-based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000.

Since then, Steve-O has had continued success, as a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his memoir, ‘Professional Idiot’, and he has established himself as a force in the world of stand-up comedy. He’s thrilled to be releasing his new, profoundly multimedia, and wildly explicit comedy special, direct to his fans at steveo.com. It’s called “Gnarly”, for good reason.

Across his social media platforms, Steve-O has amassed well over 24 million followers and counting, providing an intimate window into his continued antics and colorful life with his fiancee, Lux. He’s also got a weekly podcast called Steve-O’s Wild Ride! with amazing guests which have included Demi Lovato, Shaquille O’Neal, Ronda Rousey, David Dobrik, Tony Hawk, and more.

Steve-O has never stopped being wild and crazy, but he’s definitely evolved. He’s been clean and sober for over twelve years now, and developed a genuine love for animals (including the four dogs, two cats, and three goats he and Lux have rescued). Steve-O and Lux have plans to start their own animal sanctuary.

Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) has become a household name and it all started when he snatched a video camera from his father’s closet when he was fifteen years old. From there he started producing homemade skateboarding videos featuring dangerous stunts mixed with comical behavior. He was born in London and by the age of twelve, had lived in five countries and communicated fluently in three different languages. He holds citizenship in three countries - the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. After finishing high school in London, and completing a year at the University of Miami, Steve-O realized that college wasn’t for him. He enrolled in Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College to help further his goal of becoming a professional stuntman. After graduating Clown College, and determined to make it in Hollywood, he began to pitch his home videos to producers. Eventually, Steve-O’s videos made it into the hands of Jeff Tremaine (Jackass Creator/Director/Producer) who was working with Johnny Knoxville to create a stunt based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000. In 2001, Steve-O launched his own “Steve-O Don’t Try This At Home Tour”, establishing himself as an accomplished stage performer, at venues throughout the U.S. and in a dozen countries. When the JACKASS TV series ended in 2002, the team moved on to JACKASS: THE MOVIE, released by Paramount in October of that year. Shortly thereafter, Steve-O and fellow JACKASS alum, Chris Pontius, were given a spin-off show entitled WILDBOYZ, which aired on MTV and MTV2 and lasted four seasons. In 2006, Paramount released JACKASS: NUMBER 2 in theaters and Steve-O continued to thrill audiences with his outrageous stunts. In 2009 he competed on ABC’s hit show, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and lasted six weeks, despite an injury and having virtually no dancing ability whatsoever. In 2010, Paramount released JACKASS: 3D. Since then, Steve-O has become a New York Times Bestselling Author with the release of his memoir, ‘Professional Idiot,’ and has established himself as a force in the world of stand-up comedy. Thus far (and still counting), his career as a performer has brought him to a total of 38 countries, and his first hour-long comedy special, GUILTY AS CHARGED, recently premiered on Showtime and performed in the top one percent of all Showtime comedy specials. Most importantly, however, Steve-O has been clean and sober since March of 2008 and lives a healthy, vegan lifestyle in the Los Angeles area...but he still has no problem stapling his balls to his leg.

Vaccine Policy and Mask Mandate for the Vic Theatre

VACCINE POLICY

Per the City of Chicago’s public health order, in order to attend any indoor event at the Vic Theatre, all patrons 5 years of age or older are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (must be 2 weeks past final dose) and must show proof of vaccination at the time of entry. A negative COVID-19 test result is no longer valid for entry. Proof of vaccination can only include a CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card, a clear photocopy or digital photo of the CDC card. Patrons 16 years of age or older will also need to provide a government issued photo ID that matches their vaccination record. The only exception to this policy involves fans who have previously received a medical or religious exemption, as long as those patrons provide proof of the medical or religious exemption and a COVID-19 test administered by a medical professional within the last 72 hours prior to entering the event. Taking these steps helps to ensure the safety of our guests, staff, and the artists, and implementing this simple measure minimizes risk and the spread of the virus. We encourage you to get vaccinated and boosted if you have not already!

MASK MANDATE

Following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and based on Chicago’s current local COVID-19 data, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) is requiring that everyone age two or older wear masks in public indoor settings except when actively eating or drinking. A non-vented N95 mask or other well-fitted mask is strongly recommended to provide maximum protection. We will not allow a scarf, ski mask, balaclava, bandana, turtleneck, collar, single layer of fabric, or any mask that has an unfiltered one-way exhaust valve.

COVID-19 WARNING

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people gather. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. You assume all risks, hazards, and dangers arising from or relating in any way to the risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other communicable disease or illness, or a bacteria, virus or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness, whether occurring before, during, or after the event, however caused or contracted, and voluntarily waive all claims and potential claims against Jam Productions, Ltd. and the Vic Theatre (including Vic Holdings, LLC, Freed Vic LLC, Albert Interests, LLC, Victoria Entertainment Properties, LLC and Vic Operating Company LLC) relating to such risks.

ILLINOIS RESIDENTS THAT RECEIVED THEIR VACCINATIONS IN ILLINOIS

Why Steve-O of 'Jackass' says comedy act in Stockton includes 'most unlikely love story'

Stand-up comedian, stunt performer and, of course, one of the “Jackass” stars Steve-O will be at the Bob Hope Theatre as part of his “ Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour ."

“Naughty, multimedia, and super original,” is how Steve-O described his tour show to The Record.

“Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour” is a multimedia stand-up comedy act that showcases shocking stunts on film.

Steve-O described it as "the most explosive video footage that would never be allowed on Jackass.”

But it also has its soft side.

Steve-O said the show brings up “the most unlikely love story” between him and his fiancée, the designer and stylist, Lux Wright who’s from Stockton. She will be in the audience during his Stockton show, he said.

Steve-O said the show shares stories about their relationship, such as when he knew she was “the one,” which happened to be right in the middle of a "Bucket List Tour" stunt he was performing. Wright is his “partner in crime” even when at times she might not be in favor of his daring stunts, he said. 

The tour began earlier this month in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It comes to Stockton on Thursday. Just two days later, on Saturday, it will be at the Redding Civic Auditorium in Redding.

“My vision for the show was I'm going to do these forbidden stunts. You know, these stunts that were just too crazy to consider doing in the past and now I'm actually going to do them,” Steve-O said. 

Steve-O's move to "big theaters" follows 12 years of stand-up comedy at comedy clubs.

“I was just kind of quietly grinding on the comedy club circuit for over a decade ... as I developed the craft of the storytelling and the stand-up, like my worlds, just kind of gradually converged,” Steve-O said. 

His Stockton show is one of the few shows in the U.S. tour that is not already sold out.  

“It will be my first time coming to Stockton ... my opener in Stockton is the controversial Bam Margera,” he said.  

"Jackass" star Margera , who in December survived a serious case of COVID-19, will also open other shows in California, including those in Redding and Santa Rosa. 

The show consists of about 10 different videos filmed for the tour. There will be no actual live stunts. But as Steve-O shares, the most “absurd” stories on stage that no one would ever believe are possibly true. He will then share with the audience “the receipts” that they did in fact happen. 

“The bar for the stunts is so high, that it would be an absolute insult to try to do anything live on stage that could meet that standard,” he said.  

The event is for adults only and is classified as X-rated, or as Steve-O describes it, “properly triple X rated.” 

Aside from stand-up comedy and stunts, Steve-O recently released his second book, "A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I've Learned from a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions."

He summed it up as “uncomfortably intimate and revealing and juicy.” 

“There's nobody doing anything like this,” Steve-O said.

About the Event

JACKASS star, stand-up comedian, and New York Times best-selling author, Steve-O, is bringing The Bucket List Tour to  Dominion Energy Center on 7/17/22 . Every idea on Steve-O’s bucket list was so ill-advised, he never expected to go through with any of them. Until it was time to prepare for this tour. Not only are the stunts more ridiculous than what you already know Steve-O for, he did them all, and made a multimedia comedy show out of them. Not for kids, or the faint of heart.

About Steve-O

Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) was willing to do whatever it took to become famous, even if it meant stapling his ball sack to his leg.

After failing miserably at the University of Miami, Steve-O was a homeless couch-surfer for three years before he attended Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, to help further his goal of becoming a famous stuntman.

His relentless attention-whoring ultimately led to working with Johnny Knoxville on a stunt-based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000.

Since then, Steve-O has had continued success, as a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his memoir, 'Professional Idiot', and he has established himself as a force in the world of stand-up comedy. He's thrilled to be releasing his new, profoundly multimedia, and wildly explicit comedy special, direct to his fans at steveo.com. It's called "Gnarly", for good reason.

Across his social media platforms, Steve-O has amassed well over 24 million followers and counting, providing an intimate window into his continued antics and colorful life with his fiancee, Lux. He’s also got a weekly podcast called Steve-O’s Wild Ride! with amazing guests which have included Demi Lovato, Shaquille O’Neal, Ronda Rousey, David Dobrik, Tony Hawk, and more.

Steve-O has never stopped being wild and crazy, but he’s definitely evolved. He’s been clean and sober for over twelve years now, and developed a genuine love for animals (including the four dogs, two cats, and three goats he and Lux have rescued). Steve-O and Lux have plans to start their own animal sanctuary.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Barry Hearn dismisses threat of breakaway tour but sends message to players

Share this with

Barry Hearn says players are welcome to leave the World Snooker Tour for what he considers to be ‘not commercially-viable’ events elsewhere, but they will be missing out on considerable opportunities on the main circuit.

Rumours of a ‘breakaway tour’ have been circling, with players believed to have been approached to play in a number of events, with offers of around £300,000 guaranteed.

WST have come to a new agreement with players that allows them to compete in events outside of the tour, but they must not clash with WST tournaments.

Hearn told the BBC : ‘The players under the new agreement have freedom to do what they want to do when there isn’t a World Snooker Tour event and that will open up 10-12 weeks of the year.’

He added: ‘The World Snooker Tour have conceded that the monopolistic position that we have is not right for the current market that we’re in. We want to be the best and we think we are the best. But you can’t have the benefits of World Snooker and then do something that clashes with World Snooker, but there’s 12 weeks of a year that’s free.

‘And what we’re saying is do what you like. Personally as someone who’s got a little bit of experience in the sports world, those type of one-off exhibitions are not really commercially viable in the long run.

‘I think we’re going to be up to somewhere around 30 events next year. And if you want to work outside of those events and you feel you’re fit enough to do it and competitive, you’re free to do so.’

Hearn says that any players considering leaving the tour as a whole to play in events that clash will be leaving behind ever-increasing opportunities, including growing prize funds and a new event in Qatar.

‘What’s important is to build tournaments with history and obviously really big prize money, we are going to again increase prize money across the board,’ he said.

‘In particular things like the Masters, which has been stuck on £725,000-a-year [prize money]. That will go to a £1m next year. The long-term plan, of course, is to get the World Championship first prize past a million. And I think that’s very achievable.

‘There’ll be an event in Qatar sometime after January, but before the end of June next year.

‘I’ve heard figures of £200,000-£300,000 guaranteed [to play elsewhere]. Well if you’re in the top 16 next year, you’re going to be guaranteed £200,000 before you take your cue out. And if you win them all, you’re going to take £5-£6m home.’

Hearn has encouraged players on the World Snooker Tour to remain part of the ‘strong collective’, although says he understands why players nearing the end of their career could be tempted by guaranteed money elsewhere.

‘Collectively we are very strong, but every other little thing that happens outside of the strong body weakens the collective bargaining power that the main tour has to the detriment of the 128,’ he said.

‘It may well please a certain few players who are perhaps coming towards the end of their career and they’ve got to do what’s right for their family.

‘But frankly, commercially, I know the market, those sort of breakaway thoughts don’t really have a great deal of commercial value. So I’m quite comfortable letting people do what they want because I believe in the brand of World Snooker and what we’ve built up over the years.’

On whether players taking part in rival events would be allowed to return to World Snooker Tour competition, Hearn said: ‘No, of course not. That’s not spiteful. These are the rules.

‘Of course they would be allowed back instantly at Q School.’

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
