People tend to take life too seriously in this country; we need more laughter in our lives! Thankfully, there’s a champion of comedy that’s coming our way to bring his mastered craft of side-splitting jokes, witty comebacks… and hysterical workout routines? American stand-up comedian and jester-at-large, Gabriel Iglesias, will be headed to Singapore on 6 June for a one-night-only performance, as part of his #Fluffy Breaks Even Tour. But it won’t just be a night of improv shenanigans, for you can expect a flabbergasting food twist as well.
What is #Fluffy Breaks Even in the first place?
For starters, Fluffy is the sugar-coated nickname of Iglesias, who’s been having crowds in giggling fits for over a decade. Aside from impressionist chops, and touching humorously on matters like Mexican culture and obesity, Iglesias (or Fluffy, in this matter) also has his Break Even programmes, which is pretty hilarious, if you ask us.
Before he visits each city, fans give him a recommendation on where to eat, where he usually devours a meal to his heart’s content. The catch? The same fans then tell him how to burn off the mammoth proportions of calories he’d just gained, and this usually results in him floundering in futility as he gets whipped (figuratively) by personal trainers and gym Rambos. We should be showing sympathy, but Iglesias’ exaggerated anguish is just too hard to keep a straight face for!
He’ll be bringing his entourage too
Another feature that makes Iglesias’ antics so funny is his squad, who are as – if not more – ridiculous than he is. Members of the Fluffy A-team will be in town for this performance too; watch the infectious showmanship of fellow comedians, Martin Moreno and Alfred Robles, as they stir up a storm.
Did you know he’s also got Hollywood cred?
No shocker that Iglesias’ talent has earned him some star power in Hollywood. The man’s been casted in major films like Magic Mike, and has done animated voice roles for TV shows like Family Guy. Off- and on-stage, Iglesias is a heck of a hoot, and you’ll be sorry if you missed this chance of a lifetime!
