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, his paid after-party appearances and merchandising, TMZ.com reports.

The adults-only "Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" show added a dozen new cities Thursday, including Atlantic City, N.J., on April 16 and Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 2.

While details are scarce, the act is set to last one hour and 15 minutes, with Sheen getting 85 percent of the profits and his partner Live Nation getting the rest, TMZ said.

It helps that overhead is virtually nonexistent.

Sheen will do his act sitting in chair, TMZ said, and there's been no advertising budget beyond the actor's already dominant Internet presence.

Plenty of New York fans snapped up tickets to Sheen's two upcoming dates at Radio City Music Hall. But the huge venue holds 6,000 people, and Ticketmaster still had scattered single seats for both the April 8 and April 10 shows available Friday morning.

Some local fans were selling their extra ducats for face value or lower on Craigslist.com.

The polarizing cult hero was fired from his $2-million-per-episode job on TV's hit sitcom earlier this month following a string of sex-and-booze benders and a public trash-talking campaign.

He's coined a long list of self-promoting catchphrases, and plenty of small-time entrepreneurs have rushed to the U.S. Trademark Office to stake claims on them, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

A video website that tracks all things Sheen registered for "Tiger Blood TV," and another company registered "Adonis DNA" for nutritional supplements.
