REVIEW: Bob Saget @ Keswick, 12/3

It was a night of self-deprecating, Tourrette-syndromic outbursts last night at the Keswick, both from Bob Saget, who I wrote about in this week's issue, and the people who came to see him perform standup.

Australian James Smith warmed up the crowd with some crude social commentary on Tiger Woods, Sarah Palin, and boobytraps planted by God to ruin sex, like childbirth.

Then Bob Saget came out spewing gay John Stamos jokes paired with descriptions of vivid fantasies of blowing himself. He constantly apologized for the vulgarities coming in and out of his mouth, even admitting, 'This is not an act. This is a cry for help.'

Saget was like that hilarious, attention-starved-at-home, perverted special ed kid who was only allowed to eat lunch with the other children twice a week. Those other children were half of the crowd, only grown up and drunk, blurting out the names of their favorite genitalia, which Bob was happy to discuss.

The other half of the crowd? Men the same age as Bob, giggling while following their less-than-entertained wives to the exit for an early departure. My guess is they weren't leaving early to go be romantic.
