Greg sits down with Ali Siddiq for a sharp, wide-ranging conversation that blends comedy craft, fatherhood, prison politics, and mental health. Ali opens up about performing through a broken toe, battling panic attacks on the road, raising nine kids with wildly different personalities, and why he continues to independently release massively successful specials after repeated industry rejection. It’s funny, raw, opinionated, and full of the kind of honest storytelling that makes Ali one of the most compelling voices in stand-up today.
