FLUFFY BIO


Fluffy in HawaiiGabriel Iglesias has been described as unbelievably funny, electrifying, and a gifted performer who has the ability to consistently deliver a quality comedy experience in every venue he performs in. His high-octane show is a hilarious mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring all his personal issues to life. Gabe’s clean, animated comedy style has earned national crossover appeal. Ask anyone who has seen him in concert and you will probably hear the same thing, "He was so funny!"

Known as the "fluffy" comic in a Hawaiian shirt, the 33-year old funny man often riffs about his girthy middle - whether it's talking about how little dancing it takes for him to work up a sweat at the nightclub, or how hearing his girlfriend coo the words "chocolate cake" over the telephone works for him like phone sex, he evokes laughter.

Gabriel’s mass appeal opened the door to a rare opportunity to film a second one hour special and DVD. The new special entitled “I’m Not Fat… I’m Fluffy” Live from El Paso premiered on Comedy Central November 8, 2009. The new show is packed with a perfect blend of impeccable voice skills and an uncanny knack for hilarious storytelling that Gabe is known for. His vast imitative skills re-create numerous sound effects from speeding cars to microwave ovens to a plethora of dead-on voices. The new special is destine to top his previous hugely successful Special/DVD “Hot & Fluffy”.

Gabriel’s credits include; “Last Comic Standing”, ABC's "My Wife & Kids," Showtime's "Resurrection Boulevard,” "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Good Morning America," “The Late Late Show,” FOX TV’s “The Family Guy,” "Showtime at the Apollo" and BET's "Comic View."

     
 5 QUESTIONS FOR FLUFFY

Fluffy in Hawaii1. What is your full name?
Gabriel J. Iglecias. My Dad wanted to name me Jesus Jose Iglesias, but my Mom said there were too many Jesus’s and Jose’s in Mexico, and since my Dad wasn't there when I was born she took it upon herself to name me Gabriel. If you notice my last name above has a C where there should be an S. Well my Mom was pissed off that my Dad was not there for his only son's birth, so to mess with his “machismo” ( Dumb Mexican Pride ) she changed the spelling of my last name to annoy him and later in life Me. Every time I check into an airport and they can't find my last name in the system, it's because 33 yrs earlier my Dad couldn’t get his macho ass to the hospital!!!!!

2. Where did you grow up?
I spent most of my life in Long Beach, but I was born in San Diego. My Mom and I lived in a couple of different cities before we finally migrated to Long Beach. We made pit stops in Riverside, Corona, Santa Ana, Baldwin Park, Compton ( Don’t ask ) and then Long Beach.

3. What do you like to do when your not performing?
Hanging out with my family and friends so I can hear them give me crap about how they have real jobs.... haters!!!! I love them though. My mom is my biggest fan.... even though she still doesn’t get the jokes. Aside from hanging out I love tv, movies, play-station (Madden), going to Vegas, chatting online, meeting new people and sleeping.... a lot!

4. What is your strongest quality?
Outside of my sense of humor, my patience is number one! I never try to rush things because then they don’t turn out right. I hang out with a bunch of laggers and have yet to snap on them for dragging their feet. Anyone else would have left them behind.

5. What one word best describes Gabriel?
Approachable =)
