Ali Siddiq

The 49-years-old’s second comedy special, which follows his 2018 Comedy Central presented debut, Ali Siddiq: It’s Bigger Than These Bars, was filmed in front of a sold-out hometown crowd. In the new special, Siddiq tells hilarious true stories of growing up in Houston that include living with his hustling father that got him into illegal hustling because he wanted to buy a tracksuit that, inevitably, landed him in prison for six years.
