About
Ali Siddiq is 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, a 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 premier 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.
