Netflix revealed on Wednesday that Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias’s new stand-up comedy special, Legend of Fluffy — the first to emerge from a two-special deal with the streamer, announced earlier this year — will premiere globally on January 7, 2025.
The special finds Iglesias in his 27th year in comedy, reminiscing on the perils of life: from dating, to home break-ins, to turbulent plane rides. Shot at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, it’s his fourth for the streamer on the heels of Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy (2022), where he made history as the first comedian to perform at and sell out Dodger Stadium, the largest MLB stadium in the U.S., as part of Netflix Is a Joke Fest. His other specials there include Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias: One Show Fits All (2019) and Gabriel Iglesias: I’m Sorry for What I Said When I Was Hungry (2016).
Manny Rodriguez directed Legend of Fluffy, with Iglesias exec producing alongside John Bravakis and Joe Meloche. Fluffy Shop Studios and Triage Entertainment produced. Check out a first-look still above.
One of the world’s highest grossing comedians, Iglesias is also one of the most watched on YouTube with over 2 billion views, and boasts over 34.6 million fans across social media. One of the few to headline and sell-out Madison Square Garden in New York, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and The Sydney Opera House in Australia, he was previously in business with Netflix as the executive producer and star of its multi-cam Mr. Iglesias, which ran for two seasons.
Previously exec producing and hosting Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Revolution, Iglesias did the same for the docuseries Fluffy’s Food Adventures, which ran for three seasons on Fuse TV. Also previously putting out the Comedy Central special Aloha Fluffy, among others, he’s additionally been seen in series like The Santa Clauses and Lopez vs. Lopez, as well as the Magic Mike franchise and other films.
