HOUSTON — In a world that's spinning faster than ever, sometimes we just need to laugh to keep from crying.
Houston native Ali Siddiq honed his comedic chops in front of one of the toughest crowds you can imagine. While his fellow inmates were throwing punches, he was busy throwing punchlines. His time behind bars gave him a unique perspective and an appreciation for the healing power of laughter – something that not only got him out of trouble but also set him on the path to becoming one of the most innovative comedians out there.
That was 26 years ago. Since then, Ali Siddiq has been on a journey – one that's taken him from the prison yard to the comedy stage, inspiring countless people along the way. Today, he's not just a comedian but also a role model and motivational speaker, reminding us that humor can be a lifeline in even the darkest moments.
Ali has been on the road, sharing his talent far and wide, but he's back home in Houston for a brief stop – and we're thrilled to have him back on Great Day Houston!
If you want to experience Ali Siddiq live and in action, don't miss his performance at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land on Saturday, November 9th.
