Ali Siddiq

Most comedians are said to be courageous but who knew that a comedian could find his voice behind bars?


During his six years of incarceration Ali Siddiq cultivated the art of entertaining through comedy by sharing his funny stories and opinions with his fellow inmates. Ali Siddiq was born and raised in Houston, TX. As a Houston native, Ali advocates for community leadership, outreach, and fundraising. He is a consistent vendor for the Fort Bend ISD School District and volunteers with Harris County’s Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program. This past year, He participated in a Teachers’ Lounge comedy show with Fort Bend ISD and another in Houston after Hurricane Harvey, where he donated his proceeds to fellow Houstonians affected by the storm.
Ali annually participates in community events throughout the year and most importantly during the holiday season to show his love and support for his community. For the past 10 years he has donated and helped to feed the homeless with The Houston Food Bank through the Jive Turkeys Comedy Show. This past Christmas, Siddiq joined The Social Warriors Foundation to give select scholars from Woodson PK-8 Leadership Academy a holiday shopping spree they entitled, “Fifteen Minutes with a Celebrity.” Ali Siddiq has also established a non-profit for inner city youth called “Ink in Me”, aiding youth in their development and enhancement of interpersonal communication through reading, writing, and public speaking.
In addition to his philanthropy, Ali headlines multiple comedy clubs around the US and comedy festivals around the world proving his ability to engage audiences of every demographic while leaving them laughing hysterically. Recently, he attended the world famous ‘Just for Laughs’ Comedy Festival in Montreal for the first time where he completed a string of shows as a headliner; a prestigious accomplishment. He has also been a headlining act on The Tom Joyner Foundation Cruise four times and counting.


During The New York Comedy Festival, Siddiq was named winner of Comedy Central’s “Up Next” competition, where he earned a spot on Comedy Central Stand-up Series: The Half Hour being named their ‘fan favorite’. Ali recorded an album with Comedy Central called “Damaged Goods”, and has also been an on air talent for The Foxx hole on Sirius XM since 2011.
Ali has appeared on BET’s One Mic Stand, Bill Bellamy’s Ladies Night Out Tour on HBO, and the season finale of HBO’s Def Comedy Jam.


Being no stranger to television, Ali Siddiq has made appearances on Showtime, HBO, BET, AXS, Comedy Central’s critically acclaimed storytelling show “This is Not Happening”, and also shared his perspective of social and political issues on TV One’s Washington Watch with host Roland Martin.

Ben Gleib

Ben Gleib was named by TBS one of the “funniest comedians working today.”
He’s the host, head writer, and executive producer of the Emmy nominated “Idiotest,” on NETFLIX. The hit comedy brain teaser game show originally had four seasons and 210 episodes on Game Show Network, and was their most watched original.

He recently hosted with Olivia Munn “The Telethon for America” powered by Michelle Obama’s ‘When We All Vote’, (Gleib also created, executive produced, and was head writer) which was the first telethon ever with the goal of raising zero dollars. Completely reinventing the telethon for the digital age, instead the non-partisan telethon took pledges to vote in the 2018 midterms, aiming to

drive up voter turnout, and featured celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Chelsea Handler, Jane Fonda, Constance Wu, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba, Judd Apatow, Hasan Minhaj, Adam Devine, Aisha Tyler, Pete Davidson, and over 80 others.


For 7 years he was a round table regular on “Chelsea Lately” on E! with over 100 appearances! He also did a memorable guest star on an episode of the E! scripted series “After Lately.”



And you may have seen him as a correspondent on the Arsenio Hall Show.

Gleib is the first comedian to ever live stream a full headline set on Facebook Live, and did it in the last 8 cities on his 2016 tour, 100% improvised, getting almost 4 million total views. His act is chock full of material, but he’s also one of the best improvisers in standup comedy.


Esquire once called him one of “Six comedians who could be comedy’s next big thing.” The other five were Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Demetri Martin, and Flight of the Conchords. It came true for all of them and it now seems to be Gleib’s time.
