The Domino Effect [One Hour Stand Up Comedy Special] by Ali Siddiq

This video (the Domino Effect) is a one-hour stand up special that was filmed live in Houston, TX.
In his second-hour special, Ali Siddiq tells the true stories of his adolescent years growing up in the Houston projects. From being handed a gun at 10 years old and left home alone to sell drugs, to navigating a cast of characters and dangerous interactions during his time as a street pharmaceutical salesman. These are the true stories that ultimately lead to Ali getting busted by the FBI at 19 years old and spending 6 years in prison for a 15-year sentence.

Ali Siddiq is a stand-up comedian, public speaker, and writer out of Houston. Ali’s unique style of stand-up began behind the walls of incarceration, an incubator for interesting experiences and good stories.
People received their first taste of Ali Siddiq when he appeared on HBO's DEF COMEDY JAM and LIVE FROM GOTHAM, and in 2013 he was named Comedy Central's "#1 Comic to Watch". In 2014, Ali impressed comedy enthusiasts by displaying his ability to captivate an audience with his "Mexicans Got On Boots" tale, descriptive storytelling, with over 15 million views, of a prison riot on THIS IS NOT HAPPENING, the first of three appearances. His stories continued with his HALF HOUR special, which premiered on Comedy Central in the fall of 2016. Immediately following the premiere of that special, Comedy Central offered Ali an hour-special where he performed for inmates live in a Texas jail, sending Ali back to where it all started. The hour special, Ali Siddiq: It’s Bigger Than These Bars, premiered in February 2018 on Comedy Central. In 2019, Ali could be seen as a Top 5 finalist on NBC’s BRING THE FUNNY. Most recently, Ali could be seen as a guest on THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE.

My 25 year old daughter unexpectedly passed away last year. She kept telling me about a funny comedian and how she was going to buy tickets to his Milwaukee show in 2024. This special just happened to pop up in my feed, so I took it as a sign that my daughter wanted her mom to laugh again. It is ironic that I watched this special on the day A.S. is scheduled to perform in Milwaukee. Thank you for making me laugh, Mr. Saddiq. This is exactly what I needed. I understand why my daughter loved your comedy. I wish you continued success.

BRILLIANT! Flat out Brilliant!

[@psyikk]

He really is so amazing at it. I remember he was one of the first "This Is Not Happening" that I watched and was so incredible. I started watching others and I remember thinking they weren't as good as Ali's. They were good, of course, but Ali's stands out so much because of how good a storyteller he is.

Netflix needs to give this man a special because he is funny and relatable

[@barbararouwendal8708]

yeah, but Ali is extreme intelligent. When he does that, it has to be under his terms 100% or not at all. A standup comedian needs to be free in his/her art and Netflix has to understand that and respect that. He doesn't need Netflix. He's special, one of a kind, that is his signature. I think that's what might be the thing. His audience will look for him and find him anyway. Look at his subscribers and likes here... But yeah, if he will be on Netflix I will def watch lol, meanwhile, we have this great video. Thanxxxxx

Ali is very underrated and I believe every muthafucking word. Shit was like a verbal movie, and i can relate to every aspect of his story.

“Im gon die” Black and white cans “Ive neva met a good Willie” HR in crack sales “Ive been selling in these streets for four weeks and ive been galvinized” I hit him with the “nah”🔫 ❤

A true artist. It takes a natural born skillset to sit on a chair, on a stage and make people laugh CONSISTENTLY for an hour or more. Your stories, your comedy, the telling of your life story has gotten me through some tough times because I laughed my way through. To just say THANK YOU would be an understatement. I will continue to repost and send this so that all the revenue hits your bank account and not a "network" who's so sensitive they pull out of a GREAT deal with an AMAZING artist...SMH. DO YOU! The MOST HIGH will continue to promote and bless you regardless! A sista loves you, 💙 K

Ali Siddiq is in a class all his own--aa a comic and as a human being. He is not the first person born into a rigged system or to be cheated out of his childhood, but he is one of the few to use his hard-won wisdom in the service of others. If you don't know, look him up.
