“Okay, I loved tonight’s show @pontevedra_concerthall in Jacksonville. Really nice audience. Lots of positivity. Happened last night in Orlando last night at the Hard Rock Live too. Very appreciative and fun audiences. Thanks again to @comediantimwilkins for opening,” he shared via Instagram on Sunday alongside a selfie. “I had no idea I did a two hour set tonight. I’m back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it. A’ight, see you in two weeks Jan. 28 & 29 @pbimprov with my brother @therealmikeyoung – And check BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022.”
He added, “Goin’ everywhere until I get the special shot. And then probably keep going cause I’m addicted to this s–t. Peace out.”
Saget and Stamos not only played brothers-in-law on Full House and its revival, Fuller House, they also formed a strong friendship in real life.
In 2019, the former America’s Funniest Home Videos host shared a photo of him and wife Kelly Rizzo on a double date with Stamos and his wife, Caitlin McHugh.
“What can you say about someone you’ve loved for so long and want to spend the rest of your life with? But enough about @JohnStamos,” Saget captioned the Instagram photo at the time. “We are both so lucky to have married these wonderful beautiful women- @eattravelrock and @caitlinskybound – And we know which one we are each married to….whew.”
After Stamos and McHugh, 35, welcomed son Billy in 2018, the Grammy nominee was one of the first of the Full House cast to meet the little one.

“He’s amazing, amazing,” the Pennsylvania native shared with Us Weekly exclusively when asked how Stamos is as a father. “If you follow his Instagram, you’ll know it’s for real. His baby is the cutest thing in the universe.”
He also quipped, “If Billy has good hair, they’ll have many more.”
