The Most Underrated And Intelligent Comedian Of Our Era..
-
Fam was looking SHOOK whenever Ali was getting loud. 🤣🤣🤣 Had me cracking up over here. That's just how some of us talk, we get loud when we're passionate about a subject.
-
I love Ali Siddiq and I’m black. I like his perspective. He’s real and sincere. I have sent his shows to my friends around the world.
-
This shows how humble this brother is. He gives back and credits where he got his advice so that others know. He's a learned individual which means he's smarter than most.
-
I can listen to Ali Saddiq talk all day. Thank you so much for having him on❤️
-
what makes Ali so great is the way he tells the story, his cadence, tone and his over all demeanor.
-
I just found this guy today and I'm not stop laughing because I YouTube just about every snippet I could see of Ali. You are by far the Next Generations role model. If you haven't already YouTube his show at County jail. You were hilarious and in your special way gave great encouragement.
-
Ali is pure talent 100% and 100% settled in his life. What a Champ 🏆🙏❤
-
I absolutely love Ali's unorthodox style of comedy. It's so captivating and refreshing! 👏🏼❤
-
Just found this amazing comedian. No one like him! A class act and making a difference! He wont compromise honor and integrity for anything. How refreshing!
-
-
Officially an Ali fan. My new favorite comedian.
-
The one thing I love about Ali is that he is so humble. I think he'd be the same way if he were on a Dave Chappelle level as far as fame goes. Ali is so aware of himself as a comedian. I never heard anyone breakdown a true stand up comedian like that. I love how the interviewer didn't get combative when Ali got hype.
-
This interview was one of the most insightful I've ever seen. I've been an Ali fan for a long time but had no idea he was 16 years into the game before he ever did a prison bit. He has always been one of my favorite storytellers.
-
started noticing ali saddiq a few years ago after the release of the "this is not happening" , his pov and his ability to deconstruct it and put it back together in so many ways is amazing, i actually still learn something new every time i watch him
-
Ali is a high brow comic without being pretentious. I got A LOT out of this interview. Thank you so much. Great advice, piercing honesty. I love it. ❤️
-
I have just learned about him for about a week now and I love this guy!!! He's so intellectually funny all at the same time. I would love to see his show live. And the gems he dropped is golden but you have to have lived to be even know their gems.
-
When slowed his speech and lowered his voice, he was pissed. Glad he kept going with the interview. Thanks Ali, much respect.
-
My 20 years old son turned me on to his comedy and he has me in Tears I lived in that lifestyle.. he's been talking about ..he made a bad life situation funny And sometimes you just have to laugh at what you been through 💯💯 Thank you brother
