Gabriel Iglesias

Stand-up comic Gabriel Iglesias was born in 1976 and grew up in Long Beach, California. The rotund comedian often pokes fun at his own weight and mines his Mexican heritage for humor. After high school, Iglesias quit a job with a cell phone company to risk a career in comedy, going on to appear on the Nickelodeon show All That along with Amanda Bynes and Nick Cannon in 2000 and in a Comedy Central special, Comedy Central Presents: Gabriel Iglesias, in 2003. In addition to appearing on the late-night circuit, Iglesias has done voiceover work for shows like Family Guy and appeared as a contestant on the 2006 season of Last Comic Standing. After the release of his Comedy Central-produced DVD Gabriel Iglesias: I’m Not Fat...I’m Fluffy, he landed his own show, 2011’s Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution, a comic showcase that he hosts and produces. In 2012, Gabriel Iglesias made his feature film debut as a DJ and drug dealer in Magic Mike.
