Fans of “Full House” take heed. America’s comedic uncle is coming to visit.

Dave Coulier, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom, will be stopping in Chico to perform his stand-up.

Coulier started in stand-up at 18 and has now been perfecting his craft for 33 years, he said in a telephone interview. His act includes voices, impressions and even some harmonica playing.

“If you work clean, you work anywhere,” he said. “I never thought that adding four-letter words would make me funnier.”

Coulier is looking forward to his first performance in Chico, he said. The bonus of performing in a college town is that most of the students grew up watching him on TV, so there’s already a built-in audience.

“Full House” was a show everyone would watch after school, said Katia Palacios, a senior art major.

Jessica Beckford, a senior social work major, is unable to attend the performance but would have liked to have heard about it sooner, she said. The Joey Gladstone character always seemed like an excellent father figure.

Opening the show is Northern California comedian Aaron Prinz. Originally from Red Bluff and now in San Francisco, Prinz has been a comic for four years.

Aware of Coulier’s cleaner comedic styling, Prinz and other comedians performing cleaned up their acts for Thursday’s performance, Prinz said.

“I think there’s a bigger market for that than there is for the more crude humor type stuff,” Prinz said. “This is a show you can come to, just laugh and have a good time.”
