Which comedian is known for the nickname “Fluffy”?

Gabriel Iglesias is the comedian known for the nickname “Fluffy.”

Iglesias uses “Fluffy” as a humorous alternative to describing himself as overweight. The nickname became central to his stage identity and to the titles of several performances, including the 2009 special I’m Not Fat... I’m Fluffy and the 2012 special Aloha Fluffy.

His comedy often draws on family life, food, travel, sound effects and stories from his childhood in California. He is also known for imitating voices and using a wide range of character sounds during performances. His friendly, storytelling style has made the nickname recognizable well beyond individual specials.

The term is not his legal name or a separate character. It is a self-described stage nickname. A common mix-up is Jeff Dunham, whose best-known identity is as a ventriloquist, or George Lopez, another prominent Mexican American comedian; neither is chiefly associated with “Fluffy.”
