Dave Coulier has been present at the start of more than one phenomenon.

His role as goofy Uncle Joey on “Full House” gave him a front-row seat as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (the twins who played his character’s niece) skyrocketed to fame.

His participation in the 2003 edition of “The Surreal Life” on VH1 matched him with Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen, whose unexpected relationship launched Flav’s “Flavor of Love” spinoff series. And long before it became all the rage for famous actors to do voice work for animated series, Coulier was voicing cartoon characters (“The Real Ghostbusters”).

But what even fans of his TV work may not realize is that Coulier has long worked as a standup comedian and is the founder of The Clean Guys of Comedy, which focuses on funny but not filthy humor.

And for those who have wondered what he’s been doing since “Full House” went off the air, Coulier, 50, has racked up numerous credits by combining voice work, acting, appearances on unscripted television shows (“Skating With Celebrities”) hosting TV programs (“America’s Most Talented Kid”) and performing standup comedy.
