Gabriel Iglesias, who will perform Saturday on the Riverside Casino’s outdoor stage, has dealt with more than his share of adversity.

Iglesias floated from project to project while growing up in Southern California.

Just like May, Iglesias has made a career out of telling his own stories.

Questions recently arose over whether or not Iglesias would live.

Iglesias is at his best when he’s self-deprecating.
