About Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias

Gabriel Jesús Iglesias, affectionately known as "Fluffy," is an American stand-up comedian and actor born on July 15, 1976, in San Diego, California. Raised by a single mother in Long Beach as the youngest of six children, Gabriel developed his sense of humor early in life as a way to cope with challenges. He launched his stand-up career in 1997 and has since become one of the most successful touring comedians of all time.

Fluffy's comedy style is unique—a masterful blend of storytelling, character voices, and incredibly realistic sound effects that bring his personal experiences to life. His warm, inclusive humor resonates across all ages and backgrounds. He famously avoids controversial topics like politics and religion, instead focusing on universally relatable subjects like family, food, and everyday life mishaps. This approach has earned him one of the most diverse and loyal fan bases in comedy.

The "Levels of Fatness" & Fluffy's Famous Catchphrase

1. Big
2. Healthy
3. Husky
4. Fluffy
5. DAMN!
6. "Oh, hell no!" (added in 2009)
