Ali Siddiq is a Houston-based stand-up comedian and public speaker celebrated for his vivid, narrative-driven comedy. His storytelling draws heavily on personal experience, including six years spent in prison during the 1990s — a period during which he discovered his gift for making audiences laugh and listen.
He first gained national attention with an appearance on Def Comedy Jam on HBO in 2008. His reputation skyrocketed when a clip of his stand-up routine recounting a prison riot went viral on YouTube, amassing over 15 million views and establishing him as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary comedy.
On this stop of the 'In The Shadows' tour, Siddiq performs at L'Olympia, located at 1004 Rue Sainte-Catherine E in Montréal, Canada. The show begins at 7:00 PM EST on Sunday, November 22, 2026.
