Stand-up comedian Ali Siddiq recently announced his first-ever 47-date theater tour – "I Got A Story To Tell Tour" – which includes a stop in downtown Beaumont on Saturday, Feb. 17, at the Jefferson Theatre.
Tickets are on sale now via ticketmaster.com with prices starting at $27.
Based out of nearby Houston, Siddiq's unique style of stand-up began behind the walls of incarceration, an incubator for interesting experiences and good stories. In 2022, Ali released two new hour specials, "The Domino Effect," which garnered more than 10 million views on YouTube and "Unprotected Sets" on EPIX. Earlier this summer, Siddiq release the sequel, "The Domino Effect 2: Loss."
Fans received their first taste of Siddiq when he appeared on HBO's "Def Comedy Jam" and "Live from Gotham," and in 2013, he was named Comedy Central's "No.1 Comic to Watch." His stories continued with his half-hour special, which premiered on Comedy Central in the fall of 2016. Immediately following, Comedy Central offered Ali an hour-special where he performed for inmates live in a Texas jail, sending Ali back to where it all started. The hour special, "Ali Siddiq: It’s Bigger Than These Bars," premiered in 2018. A year later, Siddiq was a Top 5 finalist on NBC’s "Bring the Funny."
Additionally, Ali has appeared on several popular podcasts like "The Joe Rogan Experience," "85 South," "Uncle Joey's Joint with Joey Diaz," "Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank," "Bertcast," "Pour Minds" and many others.
