Gabriel Iglesias (born on July 15, 1976) is a comedian who is best known for his loud aloha shirts, funny voices and animated story telling.

Gabriel was born in San Diego, California and raised by his mother. His real name on his birth certificate is "Gabriel Iglecias" with a "C", and not a "S". The reason for the misspelling was because his father was not there for his birth so his mother thought that this was a funny way to get back at him.

Because of his large frame, he is the self-proclaimed "Fluffy Man" as he says "I'm not fat, I'm fluffy". The nickname is derived from his own joke about the so-called "Six Levels of Fatness." (Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, DAMN!, Oh HELL NO!)

Gabriel has made several guest appearances on The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Showtime at the Apollo, and Que Locos, as well as three of his own specials on Comedy Central, one of which was voted the half-hour "Special of the Year for 2003."[1] In 2000, he was a series regular for season 6 of All That on Nickelodeon. He also appeared on the hit TV show "My Wife and Kids" as a Japanese chef. As well as a voice in a Family Guy episode.

In 2006, Gabriel was a finalist in the fourth season of "Last Comic Standing," until he was disqualified for multiple violations of the contest agreement, including using a BlackBerry.

In 2007 Gabriel's 2nd special called "Hot & Fluffy" premiered on Comedy Central. The DVD has sold over 300,000 copies making Iglesias a triple platinum artist.

In 2009 Gabriel released a double disc CD box set called "We Luv Fluffy" with shows he recorded in 2006 & 2008 from Washington DC & San Antonio.

On November 8, 2009 Gabriel released his new one hour special called "I'm not Fat... I'm Fluffy" LIVE from El Paso on Comedy Central.

Next year Gabriel will be headlining a 50+ city bus tour with Comedy Central & Live Nation called "The Fluffy Shop Tour" named after his online store FluffyShop.com

TBH one of the most funniest people you would like to meet and perform in front of you, too bad i don't have a pic or get that close to him on his last visit here. He will come back to Hawaii in couple of weeks but I don't have the funds so i'll just enjoy myself with his stand-up from this past Sunday
