GABRIEL IGLESIAS IS BIG
but not the way you think (he does love to eat chocolate cake, however)
but this guy is huge in the stand-up world
he just recently completed his third gig in the middle east
- at the amman stand-up comedy festival in amman jordan
jordan?
i thought jihad was no laughing matter...
ya can't laugh at the internal struggle to maintain the muslim faith...
albert brooks did a parody movie about comedy in the middle east
in finding comedy in the muslim world
he went to india and pakistan - to try and make 'em laugh a little
- he didn't do very well
- as a matter of fact, he almost started a war
but gabriel continues to make that journey
and makes it with a lot of success and laughter
iglesias is a tireless road warrior
continuing his fluffy shop tour, he has worked 100s of dates this year (100s)
this jordanian fest is, however - a bit off the beaten path
- but it's right near a very dusty and rock strewn path
festival info also includes:
The stars of the Axis of Evil comedy show joined a great group of comedians from around the world to perform live at the Amman Stand-Up Comedy Festival, a 4-day event that was held in early December at the Al-Hussein Cultural Center. The Axis of Evil is one of the best comedy shows - the combination is amazing; 4 Middle Eastern guys – Aron and Dean are originally Palestinians, Maz is Iranian, and Ahmed is Egyptian – all coming together to change people’s perspective on Middle Easterns and Muslims in general.
Gabriel has stated
'Never did I think in a million years that making people laugh would take me around the world'
Gabriel Iglesias has been described as unbelievably funny, electrifying, and a gifted performer who has the ability to consistently deliver a quality comedy experience. His high-octane show is a hilarious mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring all his personal issues to life.
Gabe's clean, animated comedy style has earned national crossover appeal.
Ask anyone who has seen him in concert and you will probably hear the same thing, "He's so funny!" Known as the "fluffy" comic in a Hawaiian shirt, the 32-year old funny man often riffs about his girthy middle - whether its talking about how little dancing it takes for him to work up a sweat at the nightclub, or how hearing his girlfriend coo the words "chocolate cake" over the telephone works for him like phone sex,
-he evokes laughter.
gabe will be at the improv in brea on christmas day
he also treats his local fans with another area exclusive
- the hermosa comedy and magic club the last tuesday of every month
he'll be on comedy central this weekend , tv works, if can't go live...
but if you ever have the chance, go laugh - 'he's so funny...'
