Comedian Ali Siddiq announces the extension of his international stand-up tour, ALI SIDDIQ: CUSTOM FIT, adding 18 markets beginning in January 2027 including a stop in Cincinnati, OH at Taft Theatre on Saturday, January 30.
Ali’s latest standup special, My Father, premiered on his YouTube Channel on Father’s Day, and has already amassed over 5 million views. His next special, THE DOG, is set to premiere December 13, 2026, exclusively on his YouTube channel, continuing an extraordinary run of independently produced comedy releases. In February, MY TWO SONS won the 2026 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Variety (Series or Special), a landmark achievement for an independently produced and released YouTube comedy special. In April, Siddiq earned three Webby honors for RUGGED, including Best Video & Film Comedy, Best Video & Film Individual Performance and the People's Voice Award.
Crowned by Vulture as “stand-up comedy’s most prolific storyteller,” Ali Siddiq has built a massive, devoted fanbase clamoring to attend his live shows and watch his masterful specials. His catalogue of beloved specials includes his first hour special in 2018 It’s Bigger Than These Bars (5M+ views) which was taped inside a Texas jail. He premiered his four-part stand-up series The Domino Effect 1-4 in 2022-2024 which has amassed over 60 million views. The storytelling saga cemented Ali’s reputation as a master craftsman of narrative comedy. Each chapter became a cultural event, landing Ali among the top-viewed comedians on YouTube year after year.
Also during that time, Ali released the special Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover (2023) which has amassed 8.2 million views. Deadline included Ali in their list of “Comics Who Won 2025” following the release of 3 more hour standup specials in that year alone, My Two Sons (17M+ views), Rugged (11M+ views) and Mondays (8.5M+ views).
