Gabriel Iglesias is the youngest of six children, raised by a single mother in Long Beach, CA. It was during his childhood that he developed a strong sense of humor to deal with the obstacles he faced. In 1997, he set out to hone his comedic skills, and performed stand-up anywhere he could find an audience; including biker bars and hole-in-the-wall joints. Gabriel’s stand-up comedy is a mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring his personal experiences to life. His unique and animated comedy style has made him popular among fans of all ages.

Iglesias is one of America's most successful stand-up comedians performing to sold-out concerts around the world. He is also one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with over 350,000,000 views and has over 9 million fans on Facebook. The comedian has also had the distinct honor of being one of the few to headline and sell-out Madison Square Garden in New York and Staples Center in Los Angeles. Celebrating 20 years in stand-up comedy, Iglesias is currently on his new world tour, “One Show Fits All.”

Iglesias also reprised his role of "Jimmy" in the animated film The Nut Job 2 along with Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph and Katherine Heigl.

Fluffy’s Food Adventures, a non-scripted comedic docu-follow series co-starring Gabriel's eccentric tour mates and fellow comedians Martin Moreno, Rick Gutierrez, G Reilly and Alfred Robles completed a 3 season run on FUSE TV in 2017. The show followed Gabriel and his crew on a coast-to-coast culinary trip in search of the country’s most mouthwatering dishes as they discover local gems, unique activities and a few celebrities along the way.

In 2015, he co-starred with Channing Tatum in Warner Bros’ Magic Mike XXL, reprising his role as Tobias.
