- Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias will film the final night of his four-week San Antonio run for a comedy special.
Current readers apparently like a good laugh.
After all, our two most-read stories of the week involve clowns — one them beloved for his funny standup routines and the other, well … let’s just say the humor surrounding him is most often unintentional.
In reference to the latter, our most-read story was about U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz using his Twitter account to blame Joe Biden for a shortage of dipping sauces at Chick-fil-A. Problem is, Cruz talks so much shit on social media, lots of folks couldn’t tell whether he intended the swipe as a joke.
With regard to the former, nearly as many people dropped in to read a story about standup comic Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias — an entertainer who loves San Antonio just as much as we love him — who plans to film a Netflix special here.
