“Fluffy” Comedy Icon Gabriel Iglesias Brings Big Laughs to Wind Creek on Sept 2
Iglesias is one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians performing to sold-out concerts around the world.
He is also one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with almost a billion views and has over 25 million fans across social media.
In 2018, Gabe was included in The Hollywood Reporter’s “Top 40 Comedy Players” issue alongside comedy giants Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Lorne Michaels.
The comedian has also had the distinct honor of being one of the few to headline and sell-out Madison Square Garden in New York, Staples Center in Los Angeles and Sydney Opera House in Australia.
So how’d he get the name Fluffy anyway?
“A cat,” jokes Gabriel.
“No, one time I called myself fat around my mom, and she said was like ‘You’re not fat, you’re fluffy!”
Iglesias is the star and executive producer of Mr. Iglesias, the multi-cam, Netflix original comedy series, which is currently streaming Part 1-3. Iglesias plays a good-natured public high school teacher who works at his alma mater.
He takes on teaching gifted but misfit kids to not only save them from being “counseled out” by a bully bureaucrat Assistant Principal, but also to help them unlock their full potential.
In 2020, the show won best Primetime Comedy at The Imagen Awards, which recognizes positive portrayals of Latinx actors/actresses in the entertainment industry
