Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is one of the world’s most successful stand-up comedians and one of the highest grossing touring comedians of all time. He is one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with over 2 billion views and
over 34.6 million fans across social media. He was the third highest grossing comedian of 2024 according to Billboard.
Iglesias has been included in The Hollywood Reporter’s Top 40 Comedy Players issue alongside comedy giants Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Lorne Michaels and was also honored with the cover of Variety’s comedy issue. The comedian has had the distinct honor of being one of the few to headline and sell out Madison Square Garden in New York, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and The Sydney Opera House in Australia.
On TV, Iglesias is the star and executive producer of the Netflix original comedy series, “Mr. Iglesias,” which is currently streaming three seasons. 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. The show won best Primetime Comedy at The Imagen Awards, which recognizes positive portrayals of Latino actors/actresses in the entertainment industry.
In addition to his comedy series, Iglesias has released four stand-up comedy specials with Netflix. The first, in 2016, was “I’m Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry,” which was filmed at the sold-out Allstate Arena in Chicago to
20,000 fans. The second, “One Show Fits All,” was filmed in front of a sold-out audience at the Toyota Center in Houston and debuted in January 2019. The third, Stadium Fluffy premiered in October 2022 and was taped in front of a crowd of 55,000 fans at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where Iglesias made history as the first comedian to perform at and sell out the largest MLB stadium in the United States.
Feature film credits include co-starring roles in “Magic Mike,” “Magic Mike XXL” and “A Haunted House 2.” His voice has been heard in many animated films, including “Space Jam: A New Legacy” as Speedy Gonzales, streaming on
MAX. In 2017, Iglesias voiced the role of Head Clerk in Pixar’s Academy Award nominated animated film “Coco.” He also voiced Babo in “Ugly Dolls,” Rufus the Dog in Sony’s Golden Globe nominated animated holiday film “The Star” and Cuatro in Fox 20th Century Film’s Academy Award nominated animated film “Ferdinand.”
