Ali Siddiq on Preston & Steve

Comedian Ali Siddiq has certainly his own unique tale to tell. He found his passion for comedy in the most unique place: behind bars! Whilst serving time in a Texas prison he discovered he had a knack for making his fellow inmates laugh and a new career post incarceration was born.

Since then Ali has added a number of notches to his comedy belt. His most recent special Ali Siddiq: My Two Sons was nominated for “Outstanding Variety Series or Special" at the NAACP Image Awards. He'll also be showcasing his chops at Marian Anderson Hall on Saturday, February 21st. To celebrate, he made his triumphant return (via the power of Zoom) to The Preston & Steve Show.

We also have many other answers questioned. Like who is the one person Ali refuses to do any material on? Which one of his kids would he trust to be the executor of his will? And what is the best job to have if you're in prison? The answers to these questions and more await you...
