Jeff Dunham & Gabriel Iglesias at Bethel Woods

Get ready for the funniest night of the summer with Jeff Dunham and Gabriel Iglesias in the Pavilion at Bethel Woods on August 8, 2026.

Jeff Dunham
From the moment childhood photos revealed a young Jeff Dunham with a ventriloquist dummy permanently perched on his lap, it was clear he was destined for an unconventional comedic path. What began at age nine with a toy dummy and a fascination for classic ventriloquists grew into one of the most successful comedy careers in modern history—complete with sold-out global tours, ratings-record specials, bestselling books, and even a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Dunham’s unique brand of comedy—delivered through his iconic cast of characters including Walter, Peanut, José Jalapeño on a Stick, Bubba J, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, and Url—has made him a worldwide phenomenon. He holds the Guinness World Record for “Most Tickets Sold for a Stand-Up Comedy Tour,” with nearly two million tickets sold during his Spark of Insanity run, and his nine comedy specials have repeatedly broken viewership records. Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special remains Comedy Central’s highest-rated program of all time, and his specials continue to dominate platforms from NBC to Comedy Central.

Beyond the stage, Dunham’s reach spans film, television, animation, hosting, and countless international performances across more than 20 countries. With over a billion online views, millions of social media followers, and headline-making success in markets from Europe to the Middle East, he has become one of the most recognizable and consistently top-grossing comedians of the past three decades. Today, Dunham and his “suitcase posse” continue touring the world, delivering the irreverent, fast-paced humor that has made him a global favorite.

Gabriel Iglesias
Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is one of the world’s most successful stand-up comedians and one of the highest grossing touring comedians of all time. He is one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with over 2 billion views and over 34.6 million fans across social media. He was the 3rd highest grossing comedian of 2024 according to Billboard.

Recognized by The Hollywood Reporter and Variety as one of comedy’s most influential performers, Iglesias is one of the few comedians to sell out iconic venues including Madison Square Garden, Crypto.com Arena, and the Sydney Opera House. His four Netflix stand-up specials—I’m Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry, One Show Fits All, Stadium Fluffy, and Legend of Fluffy—have reached millions worldwide, with Stadium Fluffy marking history as the first stand-up show to sell out Dodger Stadium. He also starred in and executive produced the hit Netflix sitcom Mr. Iglesias, which earned the Imagen Award for Best Primetime Comedy.

Beyond the stage, Iglesias’ film and TV credits span The Santa Clauses, Lopez vs. Lopez, Magic Mike, and an extensive list of animated roles including Coco, Ferdinand, UglyDolls, The Star, and Space Jam: A New Legacy. His signature voice work and charismatic screen presence have made him a standout across genres. A fixture on Comedy Central and former host of Fluffy’s Food Adventures, Iglesias has built a devoted global following through his storytelling, character voices, and sound-effect-driven humor.

Raised in Long Beach, CA as the youngest of six children, Iglesias began performing stand-up in 1997 and quickly developed the energetic, personal style that defines him today. With sold-out arenas, record-breaking specials, and a star on the rise, “Fluffy” remains one of comedy’s most beloved and enduring voices.
