SATURDAY
Comedy
Bob Saget
What: Stand-up comic Bob Saget says he doesn't want to be known any more as "that home-video guy." He's also been called "America's favorite TV dad" for his starring role in "Full House." No more. Anyone - and there were a few - who saw him in "The Aristocrats" knows he enjoys a good dirty joke. Heck, he enjoys a bad one, too. His stand-up comedy act is definitely "for mature audiences only." Blue is his color.
When: 8 p.m. Saturday (doors open at 7)
Where: Crest Theatre, 1013 K St., Sacramento
Tickets: $35-$45
Information: (800) 225-2277, www.tickets.com
