Seeing Gabriel Iglesias. "Fluffy"

Tweet

On Monday, the 14th of January, I went to see Gabriel Iglesias. He is doing a world tour at the moment and he was so funny. He is also a very humble guy. For those who don't know him, he is a comedian who goes by the nickname "Fluffy." He calls himself that because he is a big guy. As he says ""Oh, I'm not fat, I'm fluffy." Though when he came on stage I could see he has lost a lot of weight. There is so much I could say but my words will not do his stand up any justice. It was a "you had to be there" kind of thing. But a few things I will tell you is that he does an amazing Aussie accent So many comedians who tour Australia try the Aussie accent but Gabriel did a really good job. He also did our accent speaking Spanish and I tell ya....that was amazing to me! It may seem simple lol but I have wondered often what certain accents sound like in different languages and this was so awesome. He had so many interesting and funny stories to tell. He stayed way longer than he should have. At the end people were yelling out for him to tell some stories that he has told before and he did. But it was so special because a huge majority of the audience were telling the story with him. Shouting out every line and all the quotes. Gabriel said "You guys don't even need me." He took it as a huge compliment that so many people knew his routine from such a long time ago. Then what made my heart melt was everyone giving him a standing ovation. He was very touched but he was even more touched when a woman at the very front stood up from her wheelchair. She had someone helping her but she still stood to clap. He was so touched, bent down to shake her hand and told her that she was welcome to come back stage to have a proper meet and greet. Which I found really sweet. I didn't get to meet him but I bought a poster that he had signed before the show.
