Iglesias's high-caliber performance was filmed in front of a packed house at the historic Plaza Theatre in El Paso, Texas. The World Premiere of "Gabriel Iglesias: I'm Not Fat... I'm Fluffy" one-hour stand-up special debuts Sunday, November 8 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Gabriel Iglesias has been described as unbelievably funny, electrifying and a gifted performer who has the ability to consistently deliver a quality comedy experience in every venue.. His high-octane show is a hilarious mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring all his personal issues to life. Iglesias's clean, animated comedy style has earned national crossover appeal.

Known as the "fluffy" comic in a Hawaiian shirt, the 33-year old often riffs about his girthy middle whether it's talking about how little dancing it takes for him to work up a sweat at the nightclub, or how hearing his girlfriend coo the words "chocolate cake" over the telephone works for him like phone sex, he evokes laughter.

Iglesias' talent on stage has earned him several television appearances. His credits include "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," COMEDY CENTRAL's "Premium Blend," HBO's "Comedy Minutes," NBC's "Showtime at the Apollo," ABC's "My Wife And Kids," Showtime's original series "Resurrection Blvd," VH1's "I Love the 80s," BET's "Comic View" and numerous performances on the popular Galavision show "Que Locos."
