For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Washington State Fair welcomes comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias on Saturday, Sept. 22 for his One Show Fits All World Tour.<\/p>\n

Iglesias is one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians performing to sold-out concerts throughout the world. He is also one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with more than 300,000,000 views.<\/p>\n

Born in Chula Vista, Calif., Iglesias is the youngest of six children, raised by a single mother in Long Beach. 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.<\/p>\n

Iglesias’ 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.<\/p>\n
