Gabriel Iglesias makes his return to Bethlehem on Thursday. Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. He previously headlined a sold out show at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in September 2012.

Known to his fans as β€œFluffy,” his stage performance signatures include storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effectsβ€”and always appearing in a Hawaiian shirt.

Iglesias’ third Comedy Central special, β€œAloha Fluffy,” aired in two hour-long parts over the last two Sundays. He debuted on the cable channel in 2007 with β€œHot & Fluffy” in 2007 and followed that up with β€œI’m not Fat … I’m Fluffy,” in 2009.

He has also hosted two six-episode seasons of β€œGabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution” for Comedy Central. The series features Iglesias opening with all-new material, introducing different stand-up guests during each show and several animated β€œHey It’s Fluffy!” shorts, featuring Iglesias as a kid.

Jeff Foxworthy, probably best known for his comedy routine β€œYou Might be a Redneck,” will appear in two Sands Event Center shows on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 7 and 9:30 p.m.

Β Foxworthy has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and is the best selling author of more than 26 books. Currently, he can be seen as the host of the new Game Show Network series, "The American Bible Challenge."

He is also well-known for his appearances with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside fellow star comedians Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy.
