WILKES-BARRE — The comedian and actor who has become known for being “fluffy,” not fat, is returning to the Mohegan Sun Arena during his 2016 world tour. Gabrielle Iglesias, who has sold out venues like Madison Square Garden in New York and the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, will perform at the arena at 7:30 p.m. on April 22 during The Fluffy Breaks Even! Tour.

The star of several Comedy Central stand-up specials as well as the hit series Stand-Up Revolution, Iglesias has new material surrounding his effort to eat right and exercise on the road, thereby “breaking even” with calories. The tour plays on a Fuse TV documentary series that followed Iglesias while he tried to maintain a healthy traveling lifestyle.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Dec. 18 and start at $30. They are available at the NBT Bank Box Office at Mohegan Sun Arena and all Ticketmaster outlets.
