Saget's well past the stage where people who see his act are surprised that he says dirty words. To a lot of people, he's still the guy that was on that show, but his audiences all pretty much expect him to swear and tell filthy stories and be the type of comic that doesn't belong on ABC Family.
If you want to see the depths of his depravity, go rent The Aristocrats. If you don't know the joke, google it first, then decide if you can put up with an hour and a half of "that." If you decide you're into it, Saget's contribution won't disappoint. And to hear one of my favorite stories about him, listen to the commentary track with Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette.
Of the three Comedy Central Roasts currently available on Netflix instant, Saget's is probably the best. He's a very good sport about it, and the jokes push all sorts of boundaries. The best set of the roast is Norm MacDonald's, and in my mind, Saget earns a lot of points for being one of the few people who apparently genuinely enjoyed it from the start.
Tickets for the Tampa show are $40 for general admission (plus a fee, you know… for the sake of convenience) and are available from Ticketmaster. No one under 18 allowed. Saget can't be trusted with them.
*Having trouble reading the small print on the poster? Well here's the important stuff:
Player’s Club Members who have been banned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida or opted into the self-exclusion program are prohibited from attending.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, please call 1.888.ADMIT.IT.
…but maybe not until after the show.
