A lot of people might have first seen him in 2002 during the first of his three appearances on The Tonight Show. The following five years, he toured and had several TV roles. Comedy Central gave him his first standup special Gabriel Iglesias: Hot and Fluffy (2007). He's since done two more. He was so successful that the cable network also greenlit his own series Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand Up Revolution in 2011. This summer, it goes into its third season. This film is kind of the kick-off.
