Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias has been hailed as a hometown hero by L.A. civic leaders to commemorate the comedian’s historic performances at Dodger Stadium this weekend, as he becomes the first comedian to score back-to-back sellout concerts at the venue.
“We are here to celebrate the career of someone who always aims to unite people through his laughter,” Davis said. Iglesias “has come a long way from his first days on stage at the Golden Sails Hotel in Long Beach,” he added.
“You make it real,” said California state Sen. Elena Durazo. “My generation, we were in the Chicano movement. We had to fight like hell for our people and our community. You talk about our community in a way that is respectful. You talk about our communities and our struggles.”Solis gave Iglesias a heartfelt “Sí, se puede” and pointed to the bottom-line economic impact that his success has on the region.
The 45-year-old comedian, respected for his dedication to the hard work of standup comedy, was clearly moved by the accolades. He observed that the Dodger Stadium shows came in the same week that marked the 10-year anniversary of his mother’s death.
