Gabriel Iglesias –Wind Creek Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – August 10, 2023

Gabriel Iglesias recently hit the stage in Bethlehem for the Don’t Worry Be Fluffy Tour, along with some friends.

Set right near the steel stacks, the stage was ready for a great night of comedy. The arrangement made it feel like Iglesias was cracking jokes in your living room rather than on a stage. It instantly got everyone in the mood for a good time.

Iglesias's comedy routine was a mix of relatable stories, hilarious everyday observations, and his take on the common things we all go through. His transitions from one topic to another were very smooth and his timing was on point. From stories of his childhood antics to poking fun at modern life's absurdities, he had the crowd hooked.

What made the night truly special was Iglesias's interaction with the crowd. He had a very easy-going style that made it feel like he was just making jokes with his friends. He riffed off the audience's reactions, turning them into punchlines and making each moment feel spontaneous and genuine.

The pacing of the show was great. It was like a rollercoaster – with high-energy moments followed by brief pauses that gave everyone a chance to catch their breath. The laughter was contagious.

Gabriel Iglesias's comedy show at SteelStacks was definitely a great show. His relatable humor, storytelling chops, and ability to connect with the audience turned it into an unforgettable night. After the show, I caught up with comedian Martin Moreno to do a short photo shoot. He was extremely kind, even stopping to take photos and talk to fans around us. Martin stated that after over 20 years of performing that stepping on the stage never gets old.

If you're looking for a fun night out, I definitely recommend catching Gabriel Iglesias’ Don’t Worry Be Fluffy Tour.

Yoje emailed on Patreon: "Greetings! After listening to the podcast almost a year, I finally got around to subscribing on Patreon  -  apologies it took so long. Though I noticed that with the RSS feed, I no longer get any of the podcast/album art when playing, which is especially noticeable since I listen to it regularly on my commute and my car screen shows a big generic musical note instead of the artwork! Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks again for an awesome podcast!"

Charlie O'Brien emailed: "Hey Marc, My name is Charlie O'Brien, I'm a folk singer from Killarney. For the past two years I've been in Argentina researching and singing Irish trad songs printed in a rural paper in Buenos Aires in the late 1800's. Last month I released an album of these ballads "The Trackless Wild, Irish Song of the Pampa" during a Culture Ireland sponsored tour of Argentina with trad. fiddle player Aidan Connolly.

Here's a download link for the album, would be great if ye could give a song or two a spin on your podcast. I think you played songs from a previous album of mine "Hy Brasil" a few years back.  beir bua,"
