Infamous bad boy, Bob Saget    www.bobsaget.com

A lot has changed for Bob Saget since he made his most notable debut as funny man, single dad on the quintessential family sitcom, "Full House." Once known as the ever-so-loving, kind, conservative TV dad who liked things neat and occasionally embarrassed his three, young daughters, Saget is now recognized as a notorious, Hollywood party-animal and playboy, with a mouth Danny Tanner would have admonished.

But alas, 22 years after he played father to D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle, Saget is making his way back to San Francisco again, with a stand-up that most would say is the dirtiest in the business. 

Besides being apart of the two most family-friendly shows on television, "Full House" and "American's funniest home videos," Saget is also known for talking outrageously filthy in his stand-ups as well as in his various cameos, including HBO favorite, "Entourage" and stoner-favorite film, "Half Baked." In fact, Saget has received so much recognition that other comics playfully claim that it's only his dirty words-- not his actual humor-- that make him. During Comedy Central's "Roast of Bob Saget," insult comedian Jeffery Ross said, "If some of us use dirty words as a crutch, then Bob Saget must be a quadriplegic." Nevertheless, Saget is, without a doubt, idolized by thousands, and taking on all kinds of projects with his new-found comedic fame. From starring in the TV sitcom, "Raising Dad,"  to directing several productions including the "mockumentary," "Farce of the Penguins," this long ago, suburbia dad has certainly created a whole new image for himself since his "Full House" days.

And lucky for us San Franciscans, Saget is kickin' off his new theater tour in the city that made him. His newest, stand-up tour starts 9:00pm tonight at The Warfield on Market Street, a perfect venue for the highly favored star as the theater seats 2,250 guests. For those of you who haven't purchased tickets yet, there are still some available, but get 'em fast because this crude comic's dirty words, wildly inappropriate sexual narratives, and overall raunchy humor, spreads (and sells) like wildfire.
