Interview: Comedian Ali Siddiq comes to Lubbock - KCBD

Doors open at 6 p.m. And the show starts at 7 p.m. Vulture has called Siddiq stand-up comedy's most prolific storyteller, and he's built a large following through specials he self-produces and releases independently rather than going through a major studio.

In an interview tied to the Lubbock stop, Siddiq talked about his storytelling style, how he avoided returning to prison, and why he believes in tailoring the people you keep in your life. That mix of personal history and comedy is part of what's drawn his fanbase to his live shows.

For Lubbock, this adds another touring act to the Buddy Holly Hall's lineup, giving comedy fans downtown a reason to head out on a Friday night without leaving town. The venue has become a regular stop for national acts passing through West Texas, and Siddiq's reputation for packed houses fits that pattern.

Tickets and further details on showtimes are tied to the Buddy Holly Hall listing for the Sept. 25 date.
