Who is Gabriel Iglesias?

Gabriel Iglesias (born Gabriel Jesús Iglesias on July 15, 1976, in San Diego), nicknamed “Fluffy,” is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He is 50. Raised by a single mother, he spent most of his youth in Long Beach, California. He was working for a cell phone company in Los Angeles when he went into comedy full-time in 1997, a move that cost him his home and his car. He made the final eight of Last Comic Standing in 2006, then built one of the biggest touring acts in stand-up on specials from Hot and Fluffy and I’m Not Fat… I’m Fluffy to Netflix’s Stadium Fluffy (2022), the Dodger Stadium show that made him the first comedian to sell out the ballpark. He produced and hosted Comedy Central’s Stand Up Revolution (2011–2014). In 2018 Forbes listed him among the ten highest-paid comedians in the world. On March 21, 2026, he and Jo Koy co-hosted a show at SoFi Stadium that the Los Angeles Times reported as the largest crowd ever to see a stand-up comedy show. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 3, 2026.
