  • Following the success of Ali’s last special THE DOMINO EFFECT (over 10 million views in the first year) comes the sequel “THE DOMINO EFFECT 2: LOSS”. Ali tells the traumatic stories of his adolescence that ultimately lead to him going to prison for 6 years.
    The NY Times wrote: “In his eye-opening "The Domino Effect 2: Loss," Ali Siddiq, a revelation of a performer, adopts a different approach. Instead of self-aware jokes, he leans into stories that are easy to get lost in, especially with his jaunty, magnetic delivery. Looking back on his childhood, he describes how he became a drug dealer and lost a girlfriend, a sister and eventually his freedom. He tells the story of his arrest with vivid, suspenseful detail, but also sadness at the cascading devastation of loss. It's the rare comedy about grief that takes the advice, "Show, don't tell."”

      Just finished watching with my husband. We are huuuuge Ali fans. Like soo many other ppl, I have seen EVERYTHING of his that's on the internet.
      I have been a fan of his comedic genius and masterful storytelling.
      But tonight??
      ...took me ( and i know soooo many other ppl) on a journey I never knew a COMEDIAN could take me on. He shared his heart and allowed us all to have a small glimpse into his soul.
      THEN! Brought us baaaack to laughter without blinking.
      Soo excited for his career. NETFLIX and beyond. Blessings to u brother. You inspire many.

    He was destined for greatness. You can tell by how he carried himself with his money, and how he looked out for his people in his younger years. where he’s at right now you can tell he was born a natural leader, even though he had some hangups, he always was ahead of his time as you can see. Where he is right now is on top and that’s why he was even in his teens he was on top

    I’ve never wept while listening to a comedy special but after losing my mom recently the story you told about your baby sister hit so close to home. I stood in my kitchen and openly wept. It’s so raw to see a man actively grieving on stage, it took this to a whole new level for me. I’ve watched “The Domino Effect 1, 2, & 3” repeatedly! And can’t wait for number 4 on Sunday!

    This is by FAR the best "stand up" special I've seen in a long time. I put stand up in quotations cause that term don't even come close to categorizing what I just watched. I don't think I've ever been taken on a ride like that by any comedian ever. This man is more than just a comic. The way he genuinely mourned and grieved over the loss of a loved one on a stage, made me completely forget what I was watching. Almost had me tearing up, until he hit us with Pops cookin dope in a speedo. Brought it straight back to laughter. Absolutely masterful my guy 💯🙌👌

      In order, my favorite comedians, Dave , Bill Burr, and Ali Sadiq. So glad I saw him on Joe Rogan years ago. Otherwise I never would have known who he was, a comedian, a felon, a fellow Houstonian, an amazing storyteller, And if he watches interviews that he has with Rogan and some of the other podcasters out there he has some of the most intelligent ideas on how to solve society's problems such as homelessness. His ideas aren't always perfect, but I haven't heard any senator or representative or president or mayor or governor or my dad or any other fucker come up with any other better ideas. He's not only funny he's extremely intelligent and wellspoken. The way this man tells stories I can close my eyes and I feel like I'm watching a movie.... Or better yet I feel like I'm in the movie with him

Doesn't matter how many years pass, you wake up and they're still not there. Ali is an amazing storyteller and it's a great thing to share joy but it's an even greater thing to share pain. He truly deserves to be counted among the greats.

    I said it once, and I'll say it again. Ali Siddiq is one of the greatest comedic storytellers of our time. Amazing stuff, sir.

    The fact he can speak about his trauma and make his audience enjoy it is priceless. We forget this man lived a life before comedy. Thank you Ali

    What an amazing man. Awesome delivery. This man story should be made into a movie, it has so many emotions beginning and ending with a laughter. Wishing him lots of continued success. I hope to see him some day in NYC.

    the way Ali broke the room down to the point of absolute silence and then weaved it back together with a big laugh was masterful. *Ali is so special.* definitely making the effort to see him when he’s back home in Houston.

    THIS is what they mean when they say stand-up comedy is an artform. Amazing performance.
