Steve-O 'Crash and Burn' tour brings even 'naughtier' stunts to Canada: 'I really treasure my Canadian passport so much'
"I always love going to Canada. I really treasure my Canadian passport so much," Steve-O told Yahoo Canada about returning to the country for his tour. "I always have, but more and more, I just really value my Canadian citizenship."
Steve-O was born in the U.K. to a Canadian mother and American father. As he journeys through Canada, Steve-O is also travelling with his special road buddy, his dog Moon Pie who, unlike Steve-O's beloved dog Wendy, isn't afraid of the tour bus.

A post shared by Steve-O (@steveo)
This time around, for the Crash and Burn tour, Steve-O is leaning into the fact that the famous stunt performer turned 50.
"I would say that this show's really about me confronting middle age," Steve-O said. "I actually turned 50, and as unlikely as it seems that Steve-O would have made it to 50, I'm actually in really good physical shape and seeking to beat myself up as much as ever."
"Not all the ideas I came up with for this tour proved to be very good ones, there were a lot of really outrageously hilarious fails, and for everything that failed I doubled down on something else to make sure that I could bring a worthy show."
But if you still think age could be a barrier for Steve-O, he's promising an even "naughtier" show this time around.
"I go out of my way to create even naughtier content than I could create for Jackass," Steve-O said. "Because that's always my motivation, to just be naughty and break rules and the crazy stuff."
If you haven't seen Bucket List and you're questioning what a Steve-O comedy show will be like, you're not alone.
"People don't really know what it's going to be and I've never been particularly upset about that," Steve-O said. "I think that's fine, and if anything, I viewed it as a benefit for people to come to my show with some low or no expectations."
"Because I just believe so much in what I'm doing that if people come, they don't know what they're going to get, maybe they're not sure how great it's going to be, then the consensus is pretty much always, wow that was a lot better than I expected."
But after seeing multiple Steve-O shows, there's something special about his live, multimedia experience, whether you've been a fan since the beginning of Jackass on MTV, or even if it was never your thing.
Firstly, you realize that as raucous as Steve-O is, he really takes the time to craft an impressive show.
Secondly, the energy in the room is absolutely magnetic. It's a collective bonding experience for the audience, alongside Steve-O, to laugh, gasp, and even cringe and shield their eyes from some of his stunts. It's an experience unique to Steve-O, making his shows unlike anything else you'll see.
But throughout the years there have been headlines threatening that Steve-O's latest, greatest stunt will be his last. While he's toyed with the idea, Steve-O's keeping the door open, even to when he's a 90-year-old man.
"I've gone back and forth on that. I've treated this show as if it's going to be my last real physical stunt thing," Steve-O said. "I don't want to commit one way or another to whether I'm going to keep doing stunts or not."
"[But] I kind of turned the corner a little bit. I imagined what a 90-year-old Steve-O would have to say to me. And I pictured this 90-year-old Steve-O just saying, 'Dude, stop being such a little bitch. F**king go for it. Make your own rules.' ... If I was to think the [show] I'm working on now, there's going to be a bunch after it, it would probably be too daunting. So, yeah, I think as a tool for raising the bar, just viewing every project [as the] last one is helpful."

One Shot: ‘American Primeval' didn't try to create beauty, but to find it
Cinematographer Jacques Jouffret photographed 'American Primeval' to reflect its sparse 1857 Utah environment, as a mother (Betty Gilpin) and son (Preston Mota) travel across untamed lands to reunite with her husband. 'They don't have much to eat, much clothes or transportation. They have to live in the elements, and we used that from a camera standpoint. No big equipment, most of it handheld. A very straightforward approach to create a connection between the characters and camera,' says the French native, who collaborated with director Peter Berg on the raw, unflinching imagery. 'I wanted to give as much information in the frame as I could. We are going to be wide and we're going to be close, but let's not have empty spaces,' he says about the series' visceral texture. He adds: 'We never tried to say, 'Let's do a beautiful shot.' What we tried to do is see what happened and find the beauty in the frame.' The series' visual motifs, created with the help of camera operators Brett Hurd and Richard Coy Aune, reinforce the unsettling conditions behind the settlement of the American frontier: 'There are many different factions fighting it out, and from that violence, you never know who is going to win. We are on shaky ground, and the constant Dutch angles left or right are a reflection of that,' he says.

Marissa Higgins's Sweetener Is Proof That the Sapphic Novel Has Never Been Messier—Or More Compelling
Despite the looming threat of book bans and government-sanctioned discrimination, there has possibly never been a better time in history for queer literature. Books about lesbians and bisexuals in particular are getting especially wild, weird, and wonderful lately, from Jen Beagin's Big Swiss to Ruth Madievsky's All-Night Pharmacy and Marissa Higgins's alternately thrilling and depressing 2024 novel A Good Happy Girl. The author Photo: Marissa Higgins Now Higgins is out with her sophomore novel, Sweetener, centered on a love triangle involving two separated wives named Rebecca and the beguiling young artist, Charlotte, they discover they're both dating—and it's as delightfully freaky as her previous effort, if not more so. Here, Vogue speaks to Higgins about writing her Sweetener protagonists while making edits on her first book, discovering Louise Bourgeois in college, vampiric origin stories, and her crush on a Daphne du Maurier character. Vogue: How did the process of writing Sweetener differ from your first novel? Marissa Higgins: When I first started drafting Sweetener, it was only from Rebecca's point of view, but it was written in the third person, and that didn't work; that felt off to me. Then it was Rebecca in the first-person present, and my agent read that and felt like it was just too similar to A Good Happy Girl, but in a bad way for me. It was too gross, I think; not even what she was doing, but the words I was using were too depressing and too gross. Then I opened up Charlotte's world and I wrote Charlotte and started alternating the chapters, which was a decision I made after writing it the wrong way a few times. The inclusion of Charlotte, and Charlotte alternating with Rebecca, was the best opening to the book I could find, but it took me many tries. It's weird, Sweetener sold a lot faster [than A Good Happy Girl], but it took me a lot more drafts to get to it. I feel like my early drafts of the book were probably worse than my early drafts of A Good Happy Girl. I think I was finally writing Charlotte into Sweetener around the time that my first book sold, which is kind of crazy. There were points where I thought A Good Happy Girl wouldn't sell, and I was nervous and I wanted to send something else to my agent in case it didn't.
