New blog post! --> 2013 Mushroom Foray #1: Hey is that...? No, no it's not. wp.me/p1YKFK-wI1 day ago
I got deep on Wednesday with this post, so I decided today I would try to make you giggle.
So, a little while ago I told you that my favorite comedian is Gabriel Iglesias. Fittingly enough, Gabe introduced me to my second favorite comedian via his latest DVD – Maz Jobrani.
This man is funny. But don’t take my word for it. Just check out this quick clip of him performing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (another hilariously awesome guy).
(Heads up: It’s a little outdated and a little political, but definitely not something we all haven’t heard before!)
Isn’t he great!? If you guys like him, I’ll throw together a bunch of clips for you to watch. He gets better with each one, I promise.
This isn’t really a movie, but a one hour Comedy Central special by my all time favorite comedian – Gabriel Iglesias. Gabriel is a gut-busting hilarious guy. He can do what other comedians rarely can: stay funny. I wouldn’t call him family friendly, exactly – he does talk about sex and sometimes he swears, but he is much more PG than a lot of other comedians out there. He’s great at poking fun at himself and he does awesome sound effects. Seriously, how can anyone not love this guy?
This is his first Comedy Central special. He’s been on the scene for a while before this, but this is the video that really got him going. And it’s been all laughs and chocolate cake since then.
There isn’t too much more I can say about this special, other than to watch it. I don’t want to ruin any of the jokes, so all I’ll say is: “fluffy,” “doughnuts,” “cops,” and “but it was funny, huh?”
If you don’t believe me, check out one of the best clips from his show down below. You can actually watch pretty much the whole thing online!
He’s had a couple more shows out since then, and they only get better! My favorite clip from I’m Not Fat…I’m Fluffy! is “The Chocolate Cake Made Me Late.” And even though it has nothing to do with this special, I can’t just walk away and not provide a clip for it:
So, if I didn’t already love Gabriel, the next bit of information would seal the deal: this guy is one of the nicest ones you’ll ever meet. Now, I’ve seen him once live, but I didn’t get a chance to talk to him. However, you can just tell the type of person he is. At our show, he went well over his time limit and he even took requests to do favorite jokes from previous specials. He took questions from the crowd, too! He always says that if you see him out in public, to never be afraid to approach him. He’s happy to sign autographs and stop for pictures, no matter what. And here’s two little tidbits from his website:
Gabriel once did a meet and greet at an El Paso Best Buy store that lasted over 5 hours. He signed autographs and posed for photos with every person in line.
And…
Gabriel’s longest show ever was over 4 hours long and he still did a meet and greet after that took another 2 hours.
It isn’t often that entertainers care so much about their fans and have the patience to do things that Gabriel does. All I have to say is… THANK YOU MR. IGLESIAS-WITH-AN-I.
