Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy

I saw Stadium Fluffy last night, and I simply enjoyed it... And that's not necessarily a great compliment. When I watch a Fluffy show, I know it will be nothing but big laughs the entire show. You're going to bust out laughing the whole show. So, if you merely just enjoyed it, then it's somewhat of a disappointment compared to his previous work.

The venue itself (Dodger Stadium) was basically also a star of the show. So Gabiel needed great material that was worthy of the great venue. That material simply did not live up to it... at times. A lot of the show was hit or miss with the impact of the jokes.

I did notice that more of Gabriel's stories were just that... Stories, not jokes. I expected more rapid fire jokes in his stories. But at times they were few and far between in Stadium Fluffy. I don't mind Gabriel telling us stories about his life. After all, that's what his stand-up material is based off. That's his bread and butter and he should stick to that formula. But all I ask is to be more consistent about the funny delivery of those stories.

Good entertainment, but not Fluffy's best.

I prefer earlier Gabriel. His first special was absolutely hilarious. Other ones that he had were also pretty good, too. This one, unfortunately, didn't do anything for me. He cites Kevin Hart for doing a stadium show, so he wanted to try it. That's fair. However, Kevin Hart's stadium show was also not funny- comedy rarely translates to huge arenas. This was also pretty long- usually, that's a bonus, but the comedy just wasn't happening for me, so I was waiting for the end before it was the end. I notice that Martin is making lots of appearances in his videos now. Nobody is there to see him, not sure why he gets pulled out at shows.

I like Fluffy a lot. The old shows were something new, and he's still the best while imitating sounds and people. But this one, this newest show, is just too long, and while waiting for the puns I felt like getting a preachers speech about life and mislife crisis.

The puns he made were funny, though. But it was 'too american' for my taste, with all the talk about cancel culture, vaccine and love your neighbour speeches. So I'll await the next Fluff round where I hope to find some new moves rather than the old safe tour in the latest part of comedy history. Tge show surely is good enough for a little laugh, but not wver as good as Ricky Gervais.

I get that people just want laughs but these last few years did a number on us all. It just shows that even comedians go through hard times and if they can come back and give us some good belly laughs then they did their job in this crappy time. Life has changed, what we laughed at years ago is now taboo and he still made me laugh so hard and even a little misty eyed because he is human like everyone else.

People just need to watch this for him and know the comedians talk about what's going on in their life, and for the past few years it's been vivid, cancel couture and more.. take it for what it was, a man telling us his take of the past few years with a lot of good laughs.

I enjoyed it and after the few years I had, needed this. THANK YOU FLUFFY!!!

How awesome would it have been to be there at this live show - selling out an entire stadium. If you're not laughing, you'll genuinely have a perma-smile throughout the almost two hour show. Gabriel is one of the best and most honest storytellers there is, and his style is top shelf. Some comments complained he touched on politics etc, but so what, for hardly ever doing so, it's a comedians encyclopedia of content, and he touched on those topics with style. Certainly one of the better recent stand-up shows out there, and 1000x better than the last one I saw - Trevor Noah live in Toronto, which was utter boredom and nonsense. Sure there could've been more comedy in the two hours, but his voice-overs in his story-telling are just as enjoyable and entertaining as laughing at a joke. Can't wait for another Fluffy show, and happy we finally met Martine! A well deserved 8/10 from me.
