Live in his hometown of Houston, Texas, popular comedian Ali Siddiq released a new one-hour stand-up special last month called “The Domino Effect” — exclusively on Youtube. “I’m dropping my new comedy special, Domino Effect, for FREE on YouTube,” Siddiq wrote in an Instagram caption with a microphone emoji.

The 49-years-old’s second comedy special, which follows his 2018 Comedy Central presented debut, Ali Siddiq: It’s Bigger Than These Bars, was filmed in front of a sold-out hometown crowd. In the new special, Siddiq tells hilarious true stories of growing up in Houston that include living with his hustling father that got him into illegal hustling because he wanted to buy a tracksuit that, inevitably, landed him in prison for six years. You may take a look at the new one-hour’s trailer above.
Four year’s in the making, The Domino Effect delivers more of the well-known comedian’s “growing pains” storytelling. Siddiq paints a perfect picture of Houston in the 80s when it comes to describing interactions with various street characters, so viewer discretion is advised.
