Being on TV sucks. It's a lot of work. You memorize scripts and then you show up and they change everything. I'm a control freak. When I'm doing stand-up, I say what I want and then I get instant feedback.

Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.

Sometimes [high school speech team] was funny, other times it was just talking, but it gave me the confidence to speak in front of people after doing that for a whole year.

I've already produced one hour specials for other comedians and I have a TV show called Stand Up Revolution where I showcase new talent and so I'd like to continue to do stuff like that and help out the next guy.

With all the classes they offer at school, how come they don't have one for common sense?

I never go perform somewhere alone. I've done that since day one. I've always taken other comics with me.

If I'm drinking I can either be the nicest guy ever or I'm the guy you should leave alone.

I got on the high school speech team and everyday I would get up in front of the class and just start talking.

You wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that's all I've ever done.

Make sure you're doing impressions of people that are still relevant, and that everyone knows. Red Skelton impressions are a little outdated.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
I like to tell old jokes on stage after about an hour, or an hour and a half. I'll bring those old ones back because the fans love them.

People understand when I talk about my son not listening, or issues at home or his real dad coming back into the picture, or even stories about family members not seeing eye to eye with what you're doing.

Hanging out with comics, all they did was make fun of me.
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
Finding places to perform was definitely the biggest challenge. Trying to find my voice over the years was a big thing because when I started I was just doing characters and impressions and that was it.

For about three years I was performing at one bar in East Los Angeles that was like a mean dive bar. You're in there performing for drunks or bikers, not the most flattering people. I think it helped build my confidence, because you have to get their attention, then make them laugh.

[Making people laugh] was a secret dream I kept and I didn't tell anybody about it until I was about 18.

Comedy is my passion. I'm going to do this until I drop.

Home in bed listening to the rain getting ready to order a pizza. Sounds like a song til the last part.

TV show's really quick. You're in, you're out. A film usually takes a lot longer. However, a voiceover is very much like TV in the sense that it's really quick. For example, I did the movie Planes in one day.
