The truth is that Bob Saget has always been dirty. His stand-up, dating all the way back to late ‘70s, has never been about the “Full House” façade. And nearly a decade after the success of both of his shows, Saget is back on the road doing what he does best: filthy stand-up comedy.
Opening act and Hollywood native Ryan Stout turned in an impressive set. The young comic brought some edgy material of his own, warming up the midnight crowd for the late show on Saturday night.
The 50-year-old Saget took the stage and could not have been more on top of his game. An energetic Saget joked about a broad range of themes such as his three daughters, divorce, his parents, his film career and, of course, his time spent as the squeaky clean dad on “Full House.” Former co-stars and friends Dave Coulier and John Stamos were among those jeered in his routine.
The audience was taunted as well when Saget asked members of the crowd questions like: “Have you ever shaved your balls” or “have you ever lit a fart on fire?” For those who were foolish enough to answer mocked, in good fun, countless times throughout the show.
Throughout the show Saget made numerous references to his past that concluded what we all were thinking: the ABC-family-friendly label has turned this man into the vulgar, tourettes-burdened comic that he is today. And the crowd, from the looks of it, could not have enjoyed the filter-less Saget more.
Saget ended the night by playing a few songs on acoustic guitar, most memorably, his final song called “Danny Tanner was not Gay.” As if that were not enough, Saget came back out on stage with his guitar for a brief encore. He closed the night with an improvised song dedicated to a heckler who was kicked out earlier in the show.
While Saget is now set to return back to primetime TV – hosting a new show forthcoming on NBC – as well as a directing a new parody movie on the way, it appears that for now in the meantime, he is doing what he loves best.
The stand-up crowd is obliged.
