Pick of the Day: Unprotected Sets (in LA) 10/26-10/29
Friday, Oct 29 @ 9:30pm PT– RONNIE JORDAN
Ali Siddiq’s new special It’s Bigger Than These Bars premieres on Comedy Central at 11PM this Friday.
Siddiq performed and taped this special in front of an audience of inmates at a jail, which is made doubly interesting by the fact that Siddiq used to be incarcerated. Also, Siddiq has tapped his experiences and distilled them into damn funny stories.
While you’re waiting for the special to drop, you can see Ali chat with Desus & Mero about the whole process of making it and more here.
In this trailer, you can see that Ali Siddiq does indeed return to a prison to perform for those incarcerated like he once was. Obviously, this will have a much different feel than Jeff Ross’ roast special that happened at a prison as Siddiq spent more than few years behind bars.
By the way, if you haven’t seen Ali’s This Is Not Happening story, please watch it right away here.
