Named “the most prolific storyteller in stand-up” by Vulture, Houston-based artist Ali Siddiq makes you an offer you can’t refuse. This Saturday, June 21, 2025, he will send thousands of comedy lovers howling out of their wits on the Nashville stint of his “IN THE SHADOWS” Tour LIVE at the Ryman Auditorium! Join the Primetime Emmy short-lister (also Comedy Central’s “#1 Comic to Watch”) in a mind-blowing night of incredible stories and insightful moments of heart and hilarity.
51-year-old Ali Siddiq draws from decades of anecdotes and personal growth to captivate his crowds, including an eye-opening period of incarceration in his youth. This summer, he comes off the widespread success of his new YouTube special, titled “My Two Sons,” to bring laughter around the nation through NEW and PROVEN material from previous jaunts. Siddiq is popularly known for the four-part “Domino Effect” series, one of the most-viewed comedy specials online. Buy tickets now to see him LIVE!
Ali Siddiq returns with yet another all-time banger! This season, the 51-year-old stand-up star comes in hot on the heels of his new critically acclaimed TV special, “My Two Sons,” on YouTube, to split America’s sides wide open on the “IN THE SHADOWS” Tour! Siddiq, on the night before his show in Atlantic City, will perform in Nashville’s famous Ryman Auditorium this Saturday, June 21, 2025.
“Criminally underrated. Effortlessly funny. Ali is a real talent. He brings a lot not only to the stage but also to any podcast he's on. A super storyteller.”
Houston-born personality Ali Siddiq blasted through the bars of incarceration into the world of live comedy with raucously impressive results. The two-time Primetime Emmy Award short-lister adopts a more substantial form of stand-up, involving “long, serpentine stories” instead of the usual setup and punchline approach. In line with his recent material on “My Two Sons,” Sidiq will capture your attention with thoughtfully engaging commentary on socio-political happenings, race, and current events, peppered with hilarious tidbits from his personal life. His experiences as an inmate and former “street pharmaceutical rep” lend him interesting angles to send audiences roaring from an unbeatable blend of heart and humor.
2024 unveiled a successful and productive year for Ali Siddiq, having dropped the third and fourth installments to “Domino Effect,” subtitled “First Day of School” and “Pins and Needles,” debuting to over 12 million views on YouTube. The first entry from the series remains one of the most-watched specials of 2022. We first saw Siddiq pierce the mainstream on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam” and “Live from Gotham,” which led to him becoming the “#1 Comic to Watch” (Comedy Central) in 2013. This year, we look forward to five more specials from the master following “Rugged” in March, with this hysterical romp through North America to top it off!
