The Only Way I Will

In The Beginning, When I Was Doing My Shows, I Was Incorporating A Lot Of Spanish, Just Trying To Be A Latino Comic Instead Of Just A Comic. Now I Try To Make The Show As Broad As Possible... I Don't Want To Alienate People. I Want To Make It So Everybody Can Follow Along And Everybody Can Relate.

I'm A Big Boy, But I Can Get Jiggy With It. Ladies, I Will Go To Dance Clubs, And I Will Tear It Up Hardcore For A Good 30 Seconds.

Why Would Anybody Connect To Someone Who Has Everything Going For Them? It's The Person Who Has Faults That People Want To Connect To. So People Identify With Certain Insecurities On Stage And Just By Me Talking About My Diabetes People Come Up To Me After The Show And Tell Me "gabe, My Blood Sugar Is Out Of Control And I Feel You". That's The First Thing They Say, They Say "i Feel You!".

A Lot Of The Comedians Nowadays Just Do Comedy As A Stepping Stone. Take For Example Dane Cook. The Guy Is Huge. The Main Reason He Got Into It Is To Do What He Is Doing Now: Film And Television Work.

I Know What It's Like To Have A Family And Not Have Insurance And Really Need It. As A Comic, Insurance Was One Of Those Sacrifices I Made Early On Until I Could Afford It.
