Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Fluff Piece

Google the word “fluffy,” and the first search result — above kittens and marshmallows — is Gabriel Iglesias. There’s nothing mean-spirited about the roly-poly comedian’s nickname; the weight shtick, combined with spot-on storytelling and sound effects, defines his act. Since appearing on “Last Comic Standing” in 2006, Iglesias has proclaimed his love for doughnuts and enumerated the various “levels of fatness” everywhere from “Conan” to Comedy Central. His gig hosting that network’s “Stand-Up Revolution” last fall marked his arrival as a true comedic heavy hitter, no pun intended. Catch up with the phat cat at the Flynn on Thursday.
