I love standup comedy, and for more than 10 years I have seen great comedians, but some comics could never make me laugh. One of them has been Gabriel Iglesias, a.k.a. Fluffy, so when I went to his show in April, I was skeptical.

The show started with Iglesias’ posse. These three openers struggled to keep the audience captivated, but the variety of personalities and short sets allowed us to root for these somewhat funny underdogs. After a drawn out intermission, designed to sell tour merchandise, Fluffy finally came out on stage. His new material is hilarious!

His method has become a little less animated and a bit more edgy, which is exactly what it needed. For the finale, which far exceeded the amount of time he was required to be on stage, a sign that he truly loves what he does, he threw it back and did some material from the hit special “I’m Not Fat, I’m Fluffy,” which sent the audience into an uproar.
This comedian knows how to pack a punch!
