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.

@@mendelfsisma5110 nah. This is different. Dave is telling anecdotal pieces. This is real live storytelling.

[@GeneBurnett]

I still like comics who just tell jokes...but I think you're right...this is a whole different genre...he's not telling jokes, he's using jokes to tell his story...and to do a whole special that is basically one long story is pretty fucking excellent. I love Ali...but I also love Rodney Dangerfield who never told a story longer than a one liner and never told us anything about his personal life.

Unapologetic, authentic, he tells stories from his past that are immersive, engaging and thought provoking.

Did that man tell a joke or did that man just tell you an honest story about his experience. What makes people laugh are the facts he chooses to share.

I simply said, "you were great man, keep it up" or something of the same respect. He spoke with my girlfriend and I for a few minutes about the set and if he is coming back in the future, plans to keep going with his career... absolute sweetheart and a gentleman. I wish you continued success! We have all done things, those who haven't: you are boring, your stories suck. That is why I am an Ali fan now.
