Following the success of his latest Netflix special, Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy, comedy superstar Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias returns down under this year with The 1976 Tour: A Fluffy Celebration.

This new show takes audiences back to the very beginning of Iglesias’ career as he weaves personal stories and anecdotes into his stand-up set, using his trademark laugh-out-loud humour to celebrate the journey he’s been on over the past 50 years.

The tour marks Fluffy’s first headline tour of Australia since 2012, with the Hawiann shirt-loving comic kicking off The 1976 Tour in Sydney at Afterpay Arena on Saturday 5 December. Dates follow at Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Sunday 6 December, Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday 8 December, Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Thursday 10 December, and finish up at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Saturday 12 December.

Pre-sale runs from Thursday 9 July at 11am AEST to Monday 13 July at 11am AEST. Sign up here. General on-sale takes place Monday 13 July at 12pm AEST via bohmpresents.com.

One of the most vibrant and energetic stand-ups, Fluffy is renowned for his hilarious storytelling and relatable life tales that will have you laughing in the aisle.

Garnering more than 2.4 billion YouTube views, over 34 million social media followers and having sold out legendary venues including Madison Square Garden, SoFi Stadium, Dodger Stadium and the Sydney Opera House, Iglesias is hands down one of the biggest comics on the planet.
