THE DOMINO EFFECT part 2 LOSS [FULL Comedy Standup Special - ALI SIDDIQ]

  • Following the success of Ali’s last special THE DOMINO EFFECT (over 10 million views in the first year) comes the sequel “THE DOMINO EFFECT 2: LOSS”. Ali tells the traumatic stories of his adolescence that ultimately lead to him going to prison for 6 years.
    The NY Times wrote: “In his eye-opening "The Domino Effect 2: Loss," Ali Siddiq, a revelation of a performer, adopts a different approach. Instead of self-aware jokes, he leans into stories that are easy to get lost in, especially with his jaunty, magnetic delivery. Looking back on his childhood, he describes how he became a drug dealer and lost a girlfriend, a sister and eventually his freedom. He tells the story of his arrest with vivid, suspenseful detail, but also sadness at the cascading devastation of loss. It's the rare comedy about grief that takes the advice, "Show, don't tell."”

      Just finished watching with my husband. We are huuuuge Ali fans. Like soo many other ppl, I have seen EVERYTHING of his that's on the internet.
      I have been a fan of his comedic genius and masterful storytelling.
      But tonight??
      ...took me ( and i know soooo many other ppl) on a journey I never knew a COMEDIAN could take me on. He shared his heart and allowed us all to have a small glimpse into his soul.
      THEN! Brought us baaaack to laughter without blinking.
      Soo excited for his career. NETFLIX and beyond. Blessings to u brother. You inspire many.

    There is no comedian, in the world today, who is barring their soul more than Ali Siddiq. This might be the most important comedy special ever. Before this, comedy made me laugh, feel silly, enjoy the extreme. But this changed me as a person and I'm SO grateful for his openness and honesty. You've got another fan for life. Thank you so much.

      I saw him at the Improv in Houston back in 2018. Had no idea who I was seeing. Was invited by a friend. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen! He hung out after and talked to his fans, too. He's obviously hilarious, but he's also a real cool dude on top of being one of the best storytellers in the business.

      In order, my favorite comedians, Dave , Bill Burr, and Ali Sadiq. So glad I saw him on Joe Rogan years ago. Otherwise I never would have known who he was, a comedian, a felon, a fellow Houstonian, an amazing storyteller, And if he watches interviews that he has with Rogan and some of the other podcasters out there he has some of the most intelligent ideas on how to solve society's problems such as homelessness. His ideas aren't always perfect, but I haven't heard any senator or representative or president or mayor or governor or my dad or any other fucker come up with any other better ideas. He's not only funny he's extremely intelligent and wellspoken. The way this man tells stories I can close my eyes and I feel like I'm watching a movie.... Or better yet I feel like I'm in the movie with him

I don’t relate to everything directly here but; I’ve been by proxy via family and friends to a LOT of what you told. Healing takes pain, and it takes time to work that out.

    The thing about grief is you don't lose someone one day, you lose them everyday. Everyday you gotta wake up and remember they're gone. Doesn't matter how many years pass, you wake up and they're still not there. Ali is an amazing storyteller and it's a great thing to share joy but it's an even greater thing to share pain. He truly deserves to be counted among the greats.

      This is the best explanation of grief I’ve ever heard! It’s been almost a decade that my mother has been gone and it doesn’t make it feel any better I just learn to live with it. To tell your life story in a way that touches ppl and still gives pure entertainment is true talent I love watching him.
