Steve-O Announces Aussie Stand-Up Comedy Tour

Prepare to check your maturity at the door and lower your standards of good taste, friends, because the one and only Steve-O, of Jackass and Wildboyz fame, is headed Down Under to split your sides in the best possible way on a stand-up comedy tour of the country this July and August.

Taking in the usual capital trail of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, Steve-O's status as an internationally beloved star of physical comedy is a far cry from his days as a humble student of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College with lofty dreams of being a professional stuntman one day.

It's taken a few seasons and movies with the Jackass crew, several unnatural things happening to his genital region in general, a co-starring stint with fellow Jackass Chris Pontius on Wildboyz and an equally bizarre and fantastic appearance in 2009's season of the US version of Dancing With The Stars to reach this point, not to mention his advocacy for veganism and highly publicised switch to sobriety about six years ago.

No, he might not be the drunken mess he was when he shot to stardom any more, but, if nothing else, the lessons he's learnt in an early lifetime of self-destruction should provide more than enough fodder for the Guilty As Charged tour to leave you begging for Steve-O's balls-stapler so you can stitch your sides back up at the end of the show.

Tickets go on sale at noon (local time) Thursday, May 22. Check the gig guide below for more information or to book your seat, and keep up to speed with all things Steve-O over at his Facebook page.

In the interim, have a laugh at the man's total self-disregard from his Wildboyzdays:
