This is our first interview with Ali back in 2017. He speaks candidly starting comedy in prison, major mistakes of comics and how to tell the perfect story. This is a true masterclass on stand up comedy and the lifestyle that most people never hear about. You will finish this episode with a new perspective on the craft of stand-up.
