Houston comic Ali Siddiq spent six years in prison for cocaine possession. There, he honed his comedy chops and storytelling skills before, uh, a captive audience, so you know he’s hungry and grateful every time he grips a mic on the outside. As a black man, Siddiq has accumulated a trove of humorous observations about the foibles of white people—how they excel at complaining, how they deal with crying babies on flights, their exuberant love of trail mix. He’s also constructed sidesplitting tales about being high on mushrooms and his time behind bars. His story is as inspirational as his bits are funny.
