Gabriel 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! Gabriel is one of the fastest rising stars in the comedy industry today. Iglesias was put on the map by his appearance on Galavision’s TV show, "Que Locos!". This highly successful television comedy hour quickly spawned into a nationwide tour of sold-out performances across the country. The experience not only helped to develop Gabriel's loyal fan base, it also led to numerous film and television roles. Known as the "fluffy" comic in a Hawaiian shirt, the 32-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. The youngest of six children, Gabriel spent his first five years living on the eastside of Chula Vista. By the age of eight, Gabriel and his mother were on their own and making a fresh start in the city of Long Beach. One night Gabriel's mother took him to the local video store where he rented a comedy tape starring Eddie Murphy. Two weeks later he was motivated to audition for his 5th grade talent show and to his surprise he was the hit of the show. Gabriel’s mass appeal opened the door to a rare opportunity to film a second one hour special and DVD entitled “2 Hot 2 Fluffy” debuting on Comedy Central in October of 2009. The new special & DVD is packed with a perfect blend of impeccable voice skills and an uncanny knack for hilarious storytelling. 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 comedy CD “Picachu" and his hugely successful special & DVD “Hot & Fluffy” which continues to air on Comedy Central and is available in major retail outlets nationwide.
