Ali Siddiq: THE DOMINO EFFECT part 2 LOSS [FULL Comedy Standup Special]

Following the success of Ali’s last special THE DOMINO EFFECT (over 9 million views in the first year) comes the sequel “THE DOMINO EFFECT 2: LOSS”. Ali tells the traumatic stories of his adolescence that ultimately lead to him going to prison for 6 years.
The NY Times wrote: “In his eye-opening "The Domino Effect 2: Loss," Ali Siddiq, a revelation of a performer, adopts a different approach. Instead of self-aware jokes, he leans into stories that are easy to get lost in, especially with his jaunty, magnetic delivery. Looking back on his childhood, he describes how he became a drug dealer and lost a girlfriend, a sister and eventually his freedom. He tells the story of his arrest with vivid, suspenseful detail, but also sadness at the cascading devastation of loss. It's the rare comedy about grief that takes the advice, "Show, don't tell."”

Just finished watching with my husband. We are huuuuge Ali fans. Like soo many other ppl, I have seen EVERYTHING of his that's on the internet. I have been a fan of his comedic genius and masterful storytelling. But tonight?? ...took me ( and i know soooo many other ppl) on a journey I never knew a COMEDIAN could take me on. He shared his heart and allowed us all to have a small glimpse into his soul. THEN! Brought us baaaack to laughter without blinking. Soo excited for his career. NETFLIX and beyond. Blessings to u brother. You inspire many.

The thing about grief is you don't lose someone one day, you lose them everyday. Everyday you gotta wake up and remember they're gone. Doesn't matter how many years pass, you wake up and they're still not there. Ali is an amazing storyteller and it's a great thing to share joy but it's an even greater thing to share pain. He truly deserves to be counted among the greats.

In order, my favorite comedians, Dave , Bill Burr, and Ali Sadiq. So glad I saw him on Joe Rogan years ago. Otherwise I never would have known who he was, a comedian, a felon, a fellow Houstonian, an amazing storyteller, And if he watches interviews that he has with Rogan and some of the other podcasters out there he has some of the most intelligent ideas on how to solve society's problems such as homelessness. His ideas aren't always perfect, but I haven't heard any senator or representative or president or mayor or governor or my dad or any other fucker come up with any other better ideas. He's not only funny he's extremely intelligent and wellspoken. The way this man tells stories I can close my eyes and I feel like I'm watching a movie.... Or better yet I feel like I'm in the movie with him

Thank you Oh and please when you hit Portland in May (2024) try to swing by Spokane, wa and sell out a show or 2. 🙏🏻

[@AliSiddiqComedy]

thank you!

[@itsadunndeal33]

This man does deserve a Emmy and a Netflix special. I forgot I was watching it. He had me so engaged in the story I cried and laughed 10/10 perfect special

[@phigh011]

Originally the first half was supposed to be but they weren’t going to do right by him so he brung it here to keep his rights to it.

[@Tonystarks1217]

The vulnerability that he showed regarding his baby sister just wrecked me. Ali, amazing work sir!! Thank you for sharing!

[@Tonystarks1217]

Also, just heard you on Joe Rogan, the passion you have for people who are still in is just real.

[@T.Y89]

To say he is just a comedian is an understatement. This was truly amazing to see.

[@anas2727]

You definitely became one of my favorite stand up comedians ever

I have NEVER seen or heard a comedian who can story tell better than Ali. His shows are AMAZING! This was so raw and real. You can't help but relate and feel the emotion.

[@seekeroftruth5656]

I know it probably never happened but, “ oh hats how you gonna do your daddy” gave me a belly laugh….,😂😂😂

[@novalove4790]

It truly is a treat to see him live

[@DonBrownII]

[@mr.ransomjr1601]

What other platform

[@MarquitaMaverick]

This is a different level of comedy. The more I watch Ali the more I learn and feel what he's saying. I love his presentation. Please bring more of this to the stage. This is what the sacred ways of comedy actually looks like. Let's go bro!

[@OldSparks]

I don’t just discovered you today and I’ve been watching these specials all morning. This is next-level comedy! I fucking love it!

[@tonybaloney8987]

Ali is a top tier storyteller. The way he controls our emotions during this set is pure magic. I'll follow him to the ends of the Earth for more stories.

[@jakyiasdenekawa4831]

Absolutely.. to the end and back. The one about the mushrooms.. 🍄🍄 Phenomenal

[@wilsondikgale5823]

This is not just comedy, it's real life stories meant to awaken empathy in all of us for those easy to label in society as "criminals", forgetting that everyone has a story and has walked a journey we know nothing about. Thanks for this Ali🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@ListenSpeakReadWrite]

It truly felt as if I just watched a full movie or TV show. Your stories are so vivid. RIP to your sister. You should create a tv show about your life and you could use this as the first season. This has so many elements of humanity in it.

[@atrueamerican6585]

Thanks!

[@AliSiddiqComedy]

thank u

[@ishmorales07]

the way Ali broke the room down to the point of absolute silence and then weaved it back together with a big laugh was masterful. *Ali is so special.* definitely making the effort to see him when he’s back home in Houston.

[@MrG2U]

You have to have a special talent to tell a story..bring ppl in..make em laugh..without really telling jokes...just classic...RESPECT!!!!

[@Michael0409]

Facts💯💯💯💯

[@justinmoessinger6977]

I’ve loved stand up for a long, long time. I’ve seen just about every living comedian I’ve ever wanted to see, I’ve seen countless specials and I even got to see George Carlin live, TWICE. Ali Siddiq is special. His humor, his honestly, his sincerity, his humanity.. You hear a lot of comedians talk about getting to “the truth” in their material. Ali Siddiq is THE TRUTH and genuinely raises the bar for the art form.

[@tapiwakunaka2]

Thank you best stand up I have seen in years. Laughed, cried and everything. God bless.

[@AliSiddiqComedy]

Thank you.

[@JustPraiseHim09]

Just finished watching this special with my mom and the first thing she said was “This isn’t standup. This is art.” I wholeheartedly agree. You are without a doubt my favorite comedian! Thank you so much for giving us the part 2 of Domino Effect. I’ll be coming to see you when you hit Orlando in 2024! Much love to you! ❤

[@AliSiddiqComedy]

Thank you!!!

I have never seen a comedian that can you cry and laugh at the same time. His transparency is humbling. I wish him much success.

[@anglieaellerbee8232]

Omg! I just watch this and I’ve never laughed and cried like this! WOW!! Long lives the KING!! Mic drop!!!

[@user-ok7py8ev9h]

ikr i love this man

[@TomasiAkimeta]

I said it once, and I'll say it again. Ali Siddiq is one of the greatest comedic storytellers of our time. Amazing stuff, sir.

[@durtyjones]

This dude gave me a shot on stage on open mic night at a comedy club called the Horn when I first moved to Houston in 2010. Much Love to this brother and always Thankful

[@victorsbomb4804]

Ali Siddiq is an amazing performer in all aspects. He doesn’t just do comedy he takes you on a journey of stories with downfalls and tragedy but still makes us feel happy at the end. He makes me feel such deep compassion and hope. I hate idolizing people but he’s worthy of it in my eyes. You make us feel heard and understood even when our experiences weren’t as drastic. I love everything you make and I can’t describe how truly sorry I am for your loss. Although I also can’t describe how proud I am of you upbringing’s. I will always recommend Ali not just as a good laugh but to help us really connect with our emotions.

[@tyranlafrance9714]

The fact he can speak about his trauma and make his audience enjoy it is priceless. We forget this man lived a life before comedy. Thank you Ali

[@juice2620]

Dude. How brave to expose himself like this and then break it into the speedo bit lol. What a masterful performance. This is Chappelle level stuff, and even better because it isn't moral posturing, just real ass shit. You've earned a forever fan here Ali.

Domino Effect 2 IS Hands Down One of the Best Comedy Specials I have Seen in the Last Decade!!

[@BigWillieD.LongJohnson]

This wasnt a stand up comedy show, this was stand up comedy, drama, action, thriller, gangsta movie, adventure, crime, love story, and real life documentary show wrapped up in one ali has won his way into my heart I must say he is officially my favorite cimedian of this generation

[@Lord_Mau_]

Absolutely powerful. The complexities of our people encapsulated into an hour and a half. The wisdom, the pain, the lessons, the strength … the loss. Incredibly done. Brother Ali is a master at his craft. He is one of the top two comedians alive to today without a doubt.

[@AliSiddiqComedy]

thank you!!!

Ali, you have a gift. Before my mother passed 3 years ago, we laughed about “Mexicans got on boots”. She would have loved Domino Effect I and II. Thank you so much for being vulnerable about your losses.

[@reginaldmba2323]

Without a doubt, this creation stands as a pinnacle of comedic artistry. Ali, your ability to weave your narrative into such an exceptional tapestry is truly commendable. Your storytelling not only entertains but resonates deeply, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of your audience. Thank you for sharing your journey with us in such a remarkable and unforgettable way.

I cried so much. I'm so sorry about your sister, Ali. This special was truly special.

[@kleary6689]

Surely was!❤

[@sluggzmcgee6272]

He's telling a story that, right in the middle, segues into another story that, right in the middle, segues into ANOTHER story, with all these multiple characters involved, that strays so far from the original story, that I forget what the original story was all about to begin with. Yet I'm still captivated, on the edge of my seat.

[@anyyacullen5804]

It's probably unnatural the amount of times I've watched his shows. Simply amazing. Thank you for being so transparent with us. We love you Ashley Rae Mitchell
