Almost everyone expects to achieve or have numerous things in their lifetime, such as long-distance traveling or meeting their favorite celebrity. Jackass star and stuntman Steve-O also has an atypical bucket list. It has the kind of stuff that only a brilliant and sick mind such as Stevie-O’s could conceive. It involves the use of vasectomy, laxative and ejaculation. His Bucket List Tour includes insane, crude and lewd stunts and tales. Nevertheless, the comic personality from Los Angeles states that love runs through his show as its surprising thread.
As for Steve-O, the show surpasses what he usually does and is appropriate for him. The idea behind the show was to lift the standards of quality that people expect in terms of craziness. Steve-O feels that his stand-up comedy has come a long way as well as that his show is clever, crazy and explicit. He structured the show in a specific way as he became engaged to his lover, making it a story about their romantic relationship. The aforementioned pertains to the theme, the backdrop, and everything else about the Stevie-O show.
The background of the show concerns the relationship of Stevie-O, i.e., its suffering, survival and growth. The stand-up adventures of Stevie-O started with only a microphone, but the show evolved to include more multimedia content over time. The artist started to edit videos of his stories. In the editing process, he knew that it brought another visual dimension to the show as well as a particular narrative that further lured his audience even as he did the grossest stuff imaginable. For the show, Stevie-O has shot his craziest-ever stunts, and its format blends screened videos with storytelling breaks in it.
Stevie-O has long been working as a stand-up comic. The artist has developed his craft enough to make it exciting for him to get his worlds to converge. He experimented a lot for the show, including with stunts that he would not have been capable of doing for Jackass due to rules. For instance, he made a healthcare professional with another appearance intravenously administer stolen anesthesia drugs as he rode a bicycle. Another form of theme for the show concerns his age where he feels the need to do everything possible before it gets creepy to see himself do it.
A few of the outrageous ideas of Stevie-O are creepy. The ideas are so difficult to watch that they make viewers pass out sometimes in his shows. Stevie-O knew that he wished to do wilder stuff than ever before and raise the standards of quality for his show. He is especially proud of a bit in the climax of the show.
Stevie-O has long been failing to use a small number of ideas that were all very messed up, so he did not have to brainstorm and conceive any ideas. For instance, Stevie-O is irrationally fearful of stuff like bungee jumping, roller coaster rides and so forth. Therefore, when skydiving emerged over time, he was seeking a reason to avoid doing it. Once, he decided that if he would ever go skydiving, he would do it naked alongside a person strapped to his back and would furiously masturbate while falling from the airplane. He finds it the most difficult stunt that he has pulled off.
The artist regards his Novo show as an important event for him for numerous reasons. He has long been working as a stand-up comic without getting enough attention. So, the artist does not feel that numerous people know him for his stand-up acts.
He has long been performing in comedy clubs while working on his skill and working extremely hard. He has now made the jump from the clubs to large theaters in the US. The Novo is a Los Angeles venue that accommodates 1,500 people. The artist believes that he has done much work to develop his profile, through his podcast and other digital content. He strives to make those forms of content accessible to people on the internet.
Not everyone may know what Stevie-O does for a living, but he could make sell-out events nevertheless. The success tells him that if he can discover a mainstream group of viewers for his future comedy special, he feels that he would perform live in arenas. Stevie-O states that others may find it delusional, but it is his dream.
An artist such as Stevie-O can attain that dream. Ridiculous and explicit humor has been having a large audience over the last few years. The popularity of funny people such as Sacha Baron Cohen and Eric Andre can attest to the aforementioned. Stevie-O plays a part in the movie entitled ‘Jackass Forever’, which did well in the box office and with film critics. While Stevie-O also had a well-publicized contractual dispute with actor Johnny Knoxville, he said that it was resolved.
Besides his role in films and stand-up comedy, Steve-O runs a podcast known as Wild Ride, which is popular. He has done more than a hundred Wild Ride episodes with celebrities such as Mark Cuban, Mike Tyson, Post Malone, Demil Lovato, Tommy Lee and so forth. He also has a successful merchandise line with hot sauce, different channels on YouTube and books. The artist will release his next book ‘A Hard Kick in the Nuts: What I Learned from a Lifetime of Terrible Decisions’ in September this year. The book will discuss not only middle age but also wisdom from his struggles in life, including his battles with drug, alcohol abuse and sex.
The artist says that his sexual addiction forms a considerable part of the book where he does not hold anything back. The artist has long been a sober person as well as has a new focus, drive and maturity. Those kinds of qualities were not evident in him when he played a part in the Jackass series.
He is still fond of making jokes and shameless when it comes to ideas. That said, Stevie-O is a serious businessperson who thinks about the worth in all the wacky and wild things that he subjects himself to as well.
