Goofs

The film opens up to the song "Rinconcito En El Cielo" by Ramón Ayala Y Los Bravos Del Norte, considered one of the most influential Regional Mexican/Norteño music bands of all time. The opening scene shows Ramón Ayala (played by comedian Rick Gutierrez) performing in a nightclub in 1975-1976 where Gabriel Iglesias' parents reportedly met, with radio personality Eddie "Piolín" Sotelo hosting the event. While Ramon Ayala was already a major norteño artist by that time, "Rinconcito En El Cielo" didn't come out until 1984, and a more fitting host for that time would have been TV personality/Tejano artist Johnny Canales.

User Reviews

Great Onstage Performance With Deep family Roots

A superbly spun tail of deep a deep personal journey many people can relate to. If you are looking for a straight up comedy show then this is not for you. But if you want superb story telling which touches every age group then Fluffy is the man. His spins a tale like no one else on the stage today. He always ties bits of story back to other stories which are seemingly unrelated.

At times it can be quite heavy, as I said this is not a straight up comedy show. At other times it's immensely deep. He pushes and pulls the viewers the entire time wrapping you up in his life and his battles to be who he is today.

If you have a teenager, go see it. If you are a teenager, go see it. Parents take your teens, my daughter loved it.
