Call me obsessed, but almost every Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias video on my YouTube account is marked as "Watched". So when I entered The Star Theatre for his live show on Monday, I was hoping to have my sides split with original and new content.
I was not disappointed. Sure, Fluffy started off with some old lines - like joking about falling off stage and squashing audience members in the front - but I chalked it up to opening nerves, since he doesn't memorise his sets.
Instead, once he went into full swing, Iglesias was an absolute hoot. Here are the best moments of his show in Singapore.
7. When he ended the show by impersonating Russell Peters
Fluffy showed his true colours when he revealed one of the people to which he owes his international career: fellow comedian Russell Peters, who spurred Iglesias on to perform in other countries outside of America.
As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Fluffy proceeded to end his own show with a tribute to his friend by mimicking his iconic line: “Somebody’s gonna get a hurt real bad.”
