Gabriel Iglesias says he tested positive for COVID-19 and is canceling the remainder of his San Antonio run.
The comedian, also known as “Fluffy,” revealed on Twitter that he is experiencing chills, body aches, and could not taste his birthday cake. Iglesias was wrapping up his 27-show San Antonio schedule at the Tobin Center. It’s unclear if the celebrity left town at any point during the last month or if he contracted the virus here.
