Of course, his bits on playing a wholesome dad for nearly a decade are a great juxtaposition with his other material, which is often shocking and irreverent. When he goes down a list of every bad word and sexually graphic scenario in the book, he gets the expected can you believe the dad from Full House said that? reaction. But this pervy personality wasnt born post-TV. Saget started stand-up well before his acting career, and his jokes were just as naughty then as they are now. One of my first jokes ever was, I have the brain of a German shepherd and the body of a 16-year-old boy, and theyre both in my car, and I want you to see them, he says.
Sagets act also includes some musical numbers. His biggest hit is a country number titled My Dog Licked My Balls. But Saget says hes not as bad as he sounds. Im really there to just have a huge amount of fun being the nine-year-old kid that learned all the bad words, he says. Oh, and he wants to reassure fans that his relationship with his canine is strictly platonic. 8 p.m. Verizon Wireless Theater, 520 Texas.
