Bob Saget’s done so much family TV, now he’s got Tourette’s, so he says. I’m really not sure how Saget’s stand-up is going to go over at Helium this weekend (I’m going on Saturday), but he’s been doing his act for 30 years, so the man’s a pro. He has a lot of bits about the wholesomeness of Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos, peppered with one million F-bombs and some awesomely crude Kimmy Gibbler jokes. But I do know that Saget absolutely stole the show in The Aristocrats and Half Baked. I love that Helium has disclaimers everywhere that Saget’s show is for mature audiences (but nary a one for Amy Schumer’s show last month)—I wonder how many Full House diehards have walked during his stand-up?
Helium Comedy Club, 1510 SE 9th
Tonight 9:30 pm, Fri-Sat 7 & 9:30 pm, $27-32
It’s mildly amusing you post this a week out considering this is a show that should be sold out as a no brainer. How much is Helium paying you to promote it?
True story, my aunt and uncle went to his show thinking it would be a nice, family friendly evening. They were epically disappointed.
Went to the 7 pm show last night. It was great. And, as of 5 or 6 last night, ALL shows were sold out. So, yeah, this is pretty much a tease post.
Indeedy deed, it is sold out. But as of yesterday, the Thursday show still had available tickets.
