Los Angeles!
Fluffy! Fluffy!
Fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy!
Fluffy! Fluffy!
The biggest thing I've ever done will be tonight.
Hello, my name is Gabriel Iglesias.
That's Gabriel Iglesias, if you feel the passion.
And I am a comedian.
That's right.
A comic.
Any time you get to be
the first to do anything,
unless it's a mistake,
it's always a great thing.
So the fact that I'm the first comic
to perform at Dodger Stadium
and now the first one to sell it out, yeah.
There's been so many
amazing artists that have performed at Dodger Stadium.
And to be now part of that list, it's like,
wow, no matter what happens from here on out, yeah,
who did it first?
Right here.
That's right.
The Beatles and myself.
That just... I'm just saying.
This show has been
three years roughly in the making.
I got a bonus year because of COVID.
So it was one year off and then two years
of hitting the road.
And I'm always I'm always on the road.
I'm on the road three to four days a week
every week and I've been doing that
for the last 25 years.
There's no difference as far as like training or
am I eating different or am I, you know,
do I stretch more.
It's just a little bit of a bigger show
and you know, mentally, as far as preparing for it,
I think the best part is that it's at home.
That's why the show's special.
I feel like it's home field advantage, no pun intended.
I know a lot of people have
certain expectations and it's gonna have
a lot of meaning.
It already has a lot of meaning.
Yeah! Fluffy!
Okay, so we have been watching you
since we were really little.
Like, we grew up watching you.
We're just so excited to be here.
When we found out, we had to buy tickets.
We also saw you at Frank & Son,
and you told us to wear these shirts, so here we are
-wearing our shirts. -Yes. Yes.
Whoo!
-Hi, Fluffy. -The Fluffy.
-Nice to be here. -We're so excited to see you.
We love you.
Who's a Fluffy fan?
I guess somebody that likes to laugh,
somebody that likes to have a good time.
I've had people at my shows that are as young as eight,
seven, eight years old, as old as I want to say 95.
All walks of life.
Black, white, brown, you name it.
Everybody's been to the shows.
Fluffy's youngest fan! Two months old.
You're my favorite comedian.
This is my first show, actually, in a while.
My girlfriend, she actually blessed me
with tickets to come see you,
and I love you, man.
She's 12. First show, Fluffy.
-Hi! -We watch you all the time.
That's my niece right here.
-Hey! -Watch at home!
I love you, Fluffy.
Can't wait to see you.
In Los Angeles, it's a little bit easier
for obvious reasons, but everywhere else, it's like,
how is it that he's drawing
people in Oslo, Norway, or in the Middle East
or in London or Australia?
You know, a lot of times the industry thinks that
they know and they don't.
They're clueless!
We've seen you at the Staples Center.
You pack it out there
and we're expecting the same today.
You're going to pack it out big time
and you're going to make us have a good time.
And we love you and appreciate you in our lives.
I put on a show that people feel comfortable with
and they want to come out and bring their friends,
bring their family, bring their loved ones,
and that's who's Fluffy fan.
Being in show business for 25 years now,
it's nuts.
I got a chance to actually go visit the venues
that I first started off in,
where it was April 10th of 1997.
And I got to stand on the stage
where I first went up to perform
as a comic and it felt so cool.
And I'm like, I miss all that.
That was... that was the best right there,
having people go, "Who are you? Wow."
You know?
Or when I'd open up for people and they'd say,
"Man, how come you don't have your own show?"
And I'm like, "I don't know.
I don't know why I don't have my own show."
So to go from
a backyard barbecue performance
on a karaoke machine next to an empty pool
and now to a stadium,
I'm going to be very emotional.
I guarantee you that's going to be a thing for me.
It's not just going to be any other show.
It's going to have...
You'll see it.
I was like...
Like, let me just save all that
for when I'm actually in that moment.
I'll do the...
I done messed around and got a real gig.
I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen
the day of the show, you know, 'cause
normally with arena shows, we pull up to the back
and then I get off and then we walk in.
But this is not an arena.
This is a freakin' stadium.
It's massive.
Pretty sure we're gonna have to pay for parking.
That's just a given at Dodger Stadium.
Well, I'm looking at my stage
right now being built, and there's a lot of smoke.
That's never a good thing, when there's smoke
coming out of your set.
It's always different in the daytime.
At night like, I've been here for concerts with like,
you know, Paul McCartney, I've been here for AC/DC,
and it's a very different vibe at night.
Right now like,
it looks like a big-ass quinceañera
with all these white chairs.
I'm just...
I'm wondering if we could rent them out after.
You know, cover some of the cost.
Cue the sign. Cue the chihuahuas.
Whatever the situation is to introduce me,
I'm totally involved with it.
I always want to make sure
that I'm getting exactly what I want
and that I don't get something hokey.
So as you can see,
we're having some issues with the dogs.
They always say in show business
never work with animals or kids.
See what happens.
I planned something very special
for the Dodger Stadium introduction.
My first car was a 1968 Volkswagen Bus.
It was about nine shades of primer
and two to three different versions of gray.
And it was just, I don't know.
It was pieced together with duct tape and prayer.
That's what kept that car on the road.
And who wouldn't want to get their first car back
once, you know, you're in a better place?
So when I was able to get my first car back,
I fixed it up the way that I wanted to fix it up
when I was 17 years old.
And then after that, it was one of those,
"Hey, maybe I'll get another one."
And one turned into two,
turned into four, turned into eight,
turned into now I think we're right around 25.
I've always wanted to have my first car on stage.
I think it's going to happen.
It's really close.
You can never be 100% until it's done,
but I know that we're making the attempt this time, so.
In the end, everything is going to be
like a little dance, and it should be like this.
So like that, like this.
And then a car comes out
and then like, people go crazy.
See, I'm trying to find
the furthest person from me right now.
You're the closest person.
I'm trying to find the furthest.
The furthest person.
Sound crisp?
How does it sound over there?
Yell so I can hear you.
Yes!
Hm...
It is now five o'clock.
I am leaving you now.
I will be back
when the sun goes down.
-Have a great show! -What's going on, man?
-I love you! -The love big right here.
Fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy!
Fine designer.
Special logo for the occasion.
See the bat?
One night only.
Alright, wish me luck, people.
I'll see you on the other side.
Wow, so much has happened.
I mean, the places I've gone, the things
you know, that I've done and the people that I've met
and the fact that it's a couple of weeks
after my 25th anniversary that now I'm doing this
Dodger Stadium show, it's mind blowing.
There's really no words to describe it.
It's just... it's surreal.
Are you ready?
I've been lucky enough that I have
two really great friends with me on tour
that have been there since the beginning.
One is Martin,
also known as, "Martin!"
and my friend Alfred Robles.
And I'm excited that
I can share this experience with both of them because...
You know, it's been an incredible ride.
Did garages with this dude,
living rooms, backyards,
then we're doing clubs,
and this dude ended up at Dodger Stadium, you know.
And I'm trying not
to get emotional here, but...
what you have to sacrifice in order to get to that level,
the blood, the sweat,
the tears and the laughs and the cries.
And nothing compares to this moment.
I hope he savors it as much as I'm savoring it.
Performing here
meant a lot to me.
I used to sneak into here
to watch games
with this fool right here.
And performing here two nights,
selling it out, it's great, man.
Gabriel, good job.
Congratulations. All of L.A. loves you.
I'm just looking at thousands upon thousands
upon thousands of people that came to see
our hometown hero make history.
That's amazing.
And it's just beautiful
to see good people win.
So keep winning, my brother.
You know, this is something that you
cannot really explain the feeling.
You need to be here to really feel it.
My kids, man,
they get to live this through me
and I get to tell them and show them
what a Latino did at Dodger Stadium.
And it's just... man.
It's just... it's inspiring.
Yeah, more than just our hotdogs outside.
You feel me? We did that.
-He did that. -Yes, sir.
-So congrats. -Yeah.
Love you, Fluff.
In my house,
growing up, Speedy Gonzalez
was not viewed in a negative way.
As a matter of fact, he was the only
form of representation we had growing up.
It was him and the little bumblebee on The Simpsons.
Representation is very important.
Growing up, there wasn't a lot of representation.
So any time you found someone that you’re like,
"Oh, wow, okay!"
Or if you'd hear someone speaking Spanish
or a word here and there, you're like,
"Oh!" you feel like, oh man, that was special.
Like, Paul Rodriguez was a,
you know, big inspiration for me growing up,
and I remember he had a show called a.k.a Pablo.
I mean, I remember I was a little kid,
but I was just like, "Wow!"
I was in love with the fact that
wow, look at this dude.
Like, like, wow, yeah.
Mira nomás, you know?
And my mom would be like, "Mira nomás. Mira."
And I think the fact that
there's gonna be so many people
seeing someone do this
and have a connection,
maybe who knows, that something might happen,
someone might get inspired, someone might say,
"You know what, why can't I?"
And I'm having people reach out saying,
"Hey, thank you. I'm taking my kids."
You know, "I want them to see this."
And it's like, you know, wow,
you realize how important it is.
Yeah, I wish my mom could see it.
You know, that's the thing where it's like, wow,
she would have lost her mind today to have been there.
But, you know, I think it's cool
that I get to do it.
Los Angeles, I love you.
Thank you for 25 years.
You are my home.
Thank you for the greatest night of my life.
I will never forget you.
Thank you.
