Sit Down With Siddiq
Catch stand-up comedian and public speaker Ali Siddiq on his 'I Got A Story To Tell' tour this year, bringing his hilarious storytelling comedy style on the road across the country! First coming to prominence in 2008 with his appearance on Def Comedy Jam on HBO, his gripping tales have audiences everywhere hanging on every word whilst in stitches at his hilarious takes and anecdotes.
The experiences Siddiq recounts often come from real life personal experience of life behind bars, having spent six years in prison in the 1990s. It was here that he found his talent as a stand-up, with his jokes and stories captivating fellow inmates and awakening his abilities as a comic. The story he later told as part of a stand-up routine of a prison riot during this time went viral on YouTube, hitting over 15 million views and cementing his reputation as a comic genius.
