The Evolution of Gabriel Iglesias aka Fluffy

Born in San Diego, California, the youngest of six siblings, Iglesias grew up in a single-parent home; eventually ending up in section 8 low-income housing in Long Beach where he spent most of his younger years. It was in that tough environment that some could say that he developed the sense of humor that would later land him on the world stage of comedy.

Taking a leap of faith in 1997, Iglesias turned to comedy full-time after working for a cell phone company. Having been evicted from his home and having his car repossessed, he went against the advice of his family and started down the road of comedy. He would later go on to name Eddie Murphy as one of the individuals who inspired his love for comedy.

Iglesias stepped on the stage for the first time as a pre-teen, doing an impression of Mickey Mouse and Marvin the Martian. But the true journey of career began in 2000.
