    Humor him: Gabriel Iglesias plays Foxwoods

    Here's a reality show premise that, for a lot of people, is just reality: If a group of friends eats big one night, indulging in a high-cal meal, they are compelled to exercise in a big way the next day to ward off a weight gain.

    But when said group consists of comics led by the hilarious Gabriel "I'm not fat, I'm fluffy" Iglesias, well, that's where the entertainment value comes in.

    Iglesias' upcoming show on Fuse TV is called "Fluffy Breaks Even," and it follows Iglesias and fellow comedians Martin Moreno and Rick Gutierrez as they nosh, sweat and joke. (It's set to premiere this fall.)

    Of course, Iglesias is already a force on TV, thanks particularly to his gigs at Comedy Central. He's been center stage on specials like "Aloha Fluffy" and, as producer, he's turned the spotlight on comedians he himself has selected in "Stand-Up Revolution."

    All this TV stuff aside, onstage is arguably where Iglesias shines most. Observe that when he performs his stand-up Saturday in Foxwoods' Grand Theater.

    Gabriel Iglesias, 8 p.m. Saturday, Foxwoods' Grand Theater; $40-$65; 1-800-200-2882.
