Here's the review from WashingtonPost.com:<P>In show business terms, Steve-O didn't break a leg at the 9:30 club on Sunday. He did, however, break a light bulb over his head, and chew on a shard of the glass until blood from his tongue poured over his pale torso.<P>Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, is the lead performer in the "Don't Try This at Home" cast, which is basically the touring company of MTV's former pro-nihilism show "Jackass" and the smash movie of the same name. The stage version doesn't have the benefit of editing, and doesn't rely on any of the pranks that made the small- and big-screen versions occasionally sublime.<P>Steve-O, now 28, studied at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Florida several years ago, but there was no vestige of this training obvious on Sunday. Instead, Steve-O merely tried to shock fans through feats of self-abuse that were slight of mind, not sleight of hand. Early in the set, for example, he snorted salt through his nose, which made him vomit. "I'm kicking my own [butt] every day because I love you guys," he told the packed house, before stapling to his body an assortment of bras and panties that had been thrown to the stage by fans up front. The tongue-cutting gag followed.<P>The already flagging show unraveled when Steve-O, holding a taut rope, tried to clothesline a crew member who was riding a bike onstage. The stunt failed miserably, and he began railing against club management for providing a cycle other than what was stipulated in his performing contract. That rant continued until set's end, by which time a lot of ticket buyers had already gone home. In his last monologue, Steve-O told the fans that the moral of his act is "Every last one of you is important." Then he lit his head on fire.<P>-- Dave McKenna <P>
