Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias Hosts Free San Antonio Comedy Show for Fans Who Donate to Food Drive

Comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is giving San Antonio locals a reason to laugh and give back this weekend. The beloved stand-up star has announced a special benefit show at the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club in San Antonio, where fans can score free entry simply by donating canned food to help families in need.

According to Iglesias’ announcement, the canned food drive will take place on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, located at 618 Northwest Loop 410. All donations will directly support the San Antonio Food Bank, which is currently facing increased demand due to rising food insecurity and federal benefit cutbacks.

Here’s how it works: anyone who donates at least five canned food items during the food drive will receive one wristband granting entry to Iglesias’ 3 p.m. comedy show later that day. If you bring ten cans, you’ll get two wristbands, and so on — meaning you can easily bring a friend or family member along if you’re extra generous. The offer is first-come, first-served, and only the first 350 people who donate will receive wristbands.

Importantly, no tickets will be sold for this show. Entry is based entirely on donations, and fans must have a wristband to get in. “No wristband, no entry,” Iglesias clarified on social media. It’s a creative and heartfelt twist that encourages fans to contribute to a good cause while still enjoying a day full of laughter.

The benefit performance will take place the same afternoon, starting at 3 p.m., inside the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club — one of San Antonio’s favorite spots for stand-up. Iglesias also teased that fans can expect “special guests” to appear at the show, although he hasn’t revealed who they are yet.

The San Antonio Food Bank expressed appreciation for Iglesias’ gesture, noting that the timing couldn’t be better. Local demand for food assistance has been climbing as many households struggle with higher living costs and interruptions in federal programs like SNAP. For reference, if each of the 350 attendees brings the minimum five cans, the drive could collect around 1,750 canned food items — a meaningful boost to help the community.

Fans planning to attend are encouraged to arrive early, as the event is expected to draw a large crowd. Donations must be non-expired canned goods, and only those given during the 10 a.m. to noon window will count toward receiving wristbands.

Even if you can’t make it to the show, Iglesias and the San Antonio Food Bank urge residents to donate directly to help families in need. You can find details about ongoing food drives and donation options at the San Antonio Food Bank’s official site.

This event is more than just another comedy gig — it’s a chance to laugh, give back, and connect as a community. With Iglesias’ trademark warmth and humor, Sunday’s benefit promises to deliver both fun and generosity, proving once again that a little kindness (and a few cans of food) can go a long way.
