Gabriel Iglesias

Really?

Yeah.

Like earlier I said, I did a school talent show, went up on stage, and I started doing these impressions.

So as a 10-year-old, think of a 10-year-old doing impressions of Mickey Mouse, Ronald Reagan, Pee Wee Herman, who was in his prime at that time.

And so when I went up on stage to do this show, I didn't really understand what stand-up comedy was.

I'm a 10-year-old kid, and I just did impressions.

But the impressions were so close that the people were like, oh, my God, this 10-year-old kid is nailing these impressions.

So I'm up there doing, you know, freaking Pee Wee Herman.

You know, like a 10-year-old, right now it looked weird, but a 10-year-old doing that is like phenomenal.

And then Ronald Reagan, well, Nancy, basically we have, you know.

So a 10-year-old doing that was like, and then I did Bill Cosby.

I won't do the impression now because, yeah.

But at 10 years old, I was killing.

And so it was one of those things where like, all right.

And you hooked.

I remember my mom, my brother, and my sister-in-law being in the audience.

It was only the three of them in the crowd.

And then when I went out there and I did the impressions in the crowd, they just applauded.

And I didn't know what the reaction was supposed to be.

I didn't know, are they supposed to laugh?
