@@aprilferguson1019 Thanks for the advice April! I've interviewed over 400 comics and am always looking to improve. What are some interviews you've done that I can learn from?
I am an observer sir. As a listener. I heard him being very descriptive. I learned a lot from him. That part of the interview was wonderful. However, it seemed as if he was trying to get you to understand his point throughout the whole interview. His story telling sold me on your interview. I would think as a person who was doing the interview, you would look more engaged instead of trying to keep up. This is only one perspective, mine. As an observer before I subscribe I wanna know that a person that I follow, and enjoy, is being interviewed by you… I hope that I will enjoy the interview, because the interviewer is well informed of the person that they are interviewing. You’re young and you have a lot of room to grow. However you could be as amazing as David letterman, Who also doesn’t always study… but admits it😁
@@aprilferguson1019 Sounds great I appreciate you taking the time to share such helpful feedback. Fortunately Ali has enjoyed both interviews we've done together. He even said as the end of this one that this is one of the few podcasts he'll do so we're on the right track!
This shows how humble this brother is. He gives back and credits where he got his advice so that others know. He's a learned individual which means he's smarter than most.
Fam was looking SHOOK whenever Ali was getting loud. 🤣🤣🤣 Had me cracking up over here. That's just how some of us talk, we get loud when we're passionate about a subject.
Love this comment. And we don't mean any harm. He said, "you're scaring me a little bit". 😂🤣 Loud = Passionate Ali is a mess! He was on his best sh** LOL I just love him.
The one thing I love about Ali is that he is so humble. I think he'd be the same way if he were on a Dave Chappelle level as far as fame goes. Ali is so aware of himself as a comedian. I never heard anyone breakdown a true stand up comedian like that. I love how the interviewer didn't get combative when Ali got hype.
Just found this amazing comedian. No one like him! A class act and making a difference! He wont compromise honor and integrity for anything. How refreshing!
Unfortunately that one was recorded before we were doing video. I’ll link the audio version here for ya. audioboom.com/posts/5548725-73-ali-siddiq-talks-starting-comedy-in-prison-social-media-beefs-storytelling-tips
I just found this guy today and I'm not stop laughing because I RUclips just about every snippet I could see of Ali. You are by far the Next Generations role model. If you haven't already RUclips his show at County jail. You were hilarious and in your special way gave great encouragement.
started noticing ali saddiq a few years ago after the release of the "this is not happening" , his pov and his ability to deconstruct it and put it back together in so many ways is amazing, i actually still learn something new every time i watch him
No Disrespect But He May Read Comments (I Dunno) But I Do Know Ali Has Stated That He Hates It When People Spell His Name That Way Coz He Is Not A "SAD-DICK" His Name Is Siddiq! (His Words) 🧐
Ali is a high brow comic without being pretentious. I got A LOT out of this interview. Thank you so much. Great advice, piercing honesty. I love it. ❤️
This interview was one of the most insightful I've ever seen. I've been an Ali fan for a long time but had no idea he was 16 years into the game before he ever did a prison bit. He has always been one of my favorite storytellers.
I have just learned about him for about a week now and I love this guy!!! He's so intellectually funny all at the same time. I would love to see his show live. And the gems he dropped is golden but you have to have lived to be even know their gems.
My 20 years old son turned me on to his comedy and he has me in Tears I lived in that lifestyle.. he's been talking about ..he made a bad life situation funny And sometimes you just have to laugh at what you been through 💯💯 Thank you brother
@@HotBreathPod IF you are an Artist of Any CRAFT you automatically Are DEEPLY SERIOUS and PASSIONATE about Such CRAFT. Most of Today's So Called Entertainers ARE ACTING ENTERTAINERS aka Playing a Entertainer BUT NOT An ENTERTAINER aka FAKE. REAL CRAFTSMAN Work and Study their CRAFT. The Same as RUclipsrs waking up one morning turning on the RUclips Camera then have such Nerve labeling themselves BLOGGERS or VLOGGLERS or get this 😜😳 JOURNALISTS 🤣WTF 😒 And What Balls someone has To Have To Do any Interview of Anyone successful career and look that artist in the face and NO❓ NOTHING or HAVE Not done Any BACKGROUND Work of that Artist. That Artist should be MAD As HELL!!!!
Of course got that too, and you hung in there brilliantly, testimony I think to the relationship you've already established with this towering genius, and his respect back for you.
Im late to the cookout, but Man Ali was dropping some Gems in here! I'm a beginning Student in the Stand up Arena Myself, took the $500 Comedy class and I learned more in this HOUR, than I have all year! Thank you Hot Breath & Ali! Keep helping US Newbies, So We can all achieve OUR OWN mastery...cause What is For You..is for You!
I fell in love with Ali when he was on This Isn't Happening. I'm black, what he means not accepted by black people. I love the way he structured his comedy; it's genius. Laughter has no color.
This guy is so wise! Everything he’s was saying about standup and comics not focusing on it and doing other things (Movies, sitcoms, music, travel shows) was so eye opening to me. Guys like Ail Siddiq, Nate Bargatze, big jay, Rory Scovel, rick velez, Mark normand. are prime examples of just focusing on your craft and staying in your lane (stand-up comedy) I recently went to a standup show and I was really excited to watch the headliners hour (not gonna say their name) I was in my seat next to a couple of friends and then Ricky velez came on stage to open the show. Prior to this I had never heard of him.... Ricky fucking killed it and the whole theatre was crying of laughter... then he went off stage and the headliner came up and did well but you could tell he wasn’t as sharp and hungry and all in for stand up comedy.... Main point being any of the guys I just mentioned would destroy today’s “big comedy stars” because they are all in for stand up.
Ok Joel I'm glad I subscribed. I love the way you interview. You give your guest the opportunity to answer fully and intentionally with no interruption. We really get to know the person and their thoughts.
So happy to hear! That is the whole goal of my interviews. I only recently started posting video to RUclips but there are 150 other interviews I've done on our podcast page. audioboom.com/channel/hotbreathpodcast You can also listen on iTunes, Spotify, and any other podcasting platform.

I absolutely love this guy... I've watched every stand up that I could find...since Def Comedy Jam... I love his ability to tell a story, and have it be relatable. He's seasoned, he's funny, he's intellectual, and he is very passionate about what he believes in. I can't wait to see you in February! I'm super excited...you are my favorite male comic... Blessings and unlimited opportunities to you my brother❤️
He is my favorite… I was just commenting how he has replaced Dave as my favorite. Since Dave left for so long his comedy has changed. I still like him but you could tell he got used to the good life. That’s fine, but the jokes don’t hit the same. Ali is great to listen to talk about anything.
What I like about Ali is that when he's telling a story, it doesn't seem funny to him. That brings a realness to the story and proves that he's authentic. He just has a way of delivering and just setting in it whether or not the listener thinks it's funny. THAT'S what makes him funny. Not surprised that hes not a rehearsal comedian. My guess is that that style wouldn't work for him. Ali is a great and unique comedian! I can't wait to see him live!
I love the fact that he knows what he deserves and shares his position with us who enjoy his comedy. He deserves all and much more. He is the funniest comedian I've watched and so smart with his comedy.
Ummm, after 16 years, w/Comedy Central on his resume and this/these special(s), you refer to him as a 'novice' ? Sorry, maybe I'm not familiar with the professional categories?
Ali your message on this podcast is super under appreciated. Only the real know fame is just a distraction from art. How can you replicate life if you aren’t living and too busy chasing a fantasy?
I'm clearly black and you my FAVORITE comic!!!! I just discovered you like a week ago and your comedy, interviews, and stories been keeping me alive......... literally
Man when Ali mentioned Jammerio, Dick Gregory and a few others made me realize just how long he's been in the game. Jammerio is another underrated comedian just like Ali and Sam Jay.
You are really another Dave Chappelle to me. I absolutely love listening to your comedy story telling. You can capture and hold my attention, and that says a loT, because not many people can. You tend to remind me of Dave Chappelle, and that’s a good thing. Maybe a more mature and intelligent crowd would appreciate you more, because you are certainly talented and awesome at what you do. You also have this relaxing voice. I love it and I love your comedy❤️
Ali, I have ALWAYS thought the world of you since the very first time I heard any of your comedy! But after this interview, I love you even more. You are honest and true to yourself and your craft. I loved how when he wasn’t understanding what you were saying, you set him straight saying, “Why can’t being an amazing stand up be enough!? I’m not JUST a standup! I AM a stand up comedian! Dude, you nailed that shit! That is EXACTLY right! Then at the end of the interview when you talked about the warm up guy, and how he is living his best life, working two WEEKDAYS a week, (maybe he wants to be home with his family on weekends) and he’s happy. He’s HAPPY. Man, THAT is success. That is fulfillment. Being happy, with who and what you are, and what you put out into this world. You are doing that man. More importantly, more than anything, your babies are watching you do that. You are setting an amazing example as to what true leadership and integrity is in this life. Man you killin it. Absolutely killin it. As a comedian, a father…a human being man. You absolutely inspire me. God how I wish you all the best! Much love and blessings to you and yours! ❤️👑💯🙌🏻
Thanks for listening! Here's a link to another interview I did with Ali before I had video. audioboom.com/posts/5548725-73-ali-siddiq-talks-starting-comedy-in-prison-social-media-beefs-storytelling-tips
Ali I absolutely love your perspective on life. Thank you for the clarity you bring to any given conversation,and may your blessings continue unlimited .🤗🙏🏽💪🏽
THE 💎💎💎💎 my goodness! I love that his intensity is not personal…it’s about teaching and offering an opportunity to learn and hopefully apply to Self. WOAH!! This was great!
As much as I love Ali, I have to correct him when he said Richard Prior’s first movie was JoJo Dancer. He had roles in Lady sings the blues, The Mack, Uptown Saturday Night, Which way is up and Greased Lightning before JoJo Dancer.
Man, I love Ali’s comedy. Seen him live a couple times, watched tons of videos, seen the specials he’s put out, etc. But I find it so hard to listen to him in interviews for some reason. Dude’s hilarious, but there’s something about the way he interacts with people that’s just off-putting man. That being said, this was a great interview. It’s nice to hear someone essentially say, “just go up there and be yourself man, you’ll work it out. There’s no rules to this shit!”
I didn't know about you because I stopped watching Comedy Central more than 20 years ago when the fresh cussing ass kid dropped a turd and named it "CHEF." I grew up listening to Isaac Hayes (BLACK MOSES) since 1968, met him in the 80's, I don't care what happened, COMEDY CENTRAL should never disrespect any human being like that. Thanks for dropping SPECIALS on you tube. You are THE BEST PERIOD in my opinion.
I'm glad I watch your interviews and Stand Up SPECIALS repeatedly. I've seen this interview many times and I get it. DOMINO EFFECT, you portrayed the gay person mad because he always has to come to the park to cop. Then you talked about being in "THE CADILLAC," not noticing that those inmates were "light."
❤❤❤!!! Educate them youngins'! You provided solid advice for any career not only in stand up. You are absolutely on point with SO MUCH. Life is about living 4 sure. So many ppl don't have a clue how to be free and take ownership of their customized style in their aspirations. You are most definitely interesting and ON POINT. Keep rising and rock on, brother! Love following your path❤❤❤
I cant speak for others man but i am definitely a huge fan and im definitely black. One of the best comedians out here. Story telling is top notch punch lines on point and how humble he is. Its unmatched.
He speaks his truth, no need to write anything down he has so much trauma and retelling his stories are actually life events that lead to more reflection that's why you can feel him in his emotions that's life. His on his own lane, he has a valuable voice that can be that sound and reason to transform our at risk your to turn their lives around a cautionary testimony that makes him Gold he is not glamorizing any of the criminal lifestyle it has high risks and consequences and he has paid for it all in his lifetime all that is raw and insane and it has a place that is fictional in this society at all levels
#AllDay I appreciate your support. His first interview with us is linked in the description. There are over 140 other great interviews on our iTunes and Spotify pages too. We’re just now getting RUclips. 💯
It really surprised me to hear Ali talking about how he doesn't feel like he is seen as a "famous" comedian. He is literally, hands down one of my top few favorite comedians. Out of EVERYBODY. He's incredible. He is right, though, in the sense that he seems to be far too REAL to be some plastic Hollywood fame machine. It's all about perpspective, I suppose. If you see this, Ali, you are a damn BOSS and I not only admire you, but I have an immense amount of respect for you and I appreciate the work that you do. You have made me laugh when I am having the worst days and I didn't think I could smile let alone a laugh out loud belly laugh. I know there are TONS of people who feel the same way. Thank you for doing what you do and please do not ever stop! You deserve the best that this world has to offer.
I love Ali. He inspired me a long time ago. He will rise through the fakers tho. He is a real one and his followers are loyal. He might be too real. Like Eddie Griffin is funny af but he to real to get to famous. He won't bend to no one. I respect that.
Good information. Btw: Bill Cosby, and Dick Gregory used to sit also at shows or lectures. But definitely Ali is taking it to another level in these times.

@@justteezy91 Thanks buddy. Welcome to the Hot Breathiverse!
I totally agree!
Have to agree---sharing him all around. LOVE the guy---completely brilliant.
This shows how humble this brother is. He gives back and credits where he got his advice so that others know. He's a learned individual which means he's smarter than most.
I love Ali Siddiq and I’m black. I like his perspective. He’s real and sincere. I have sent his shows to my friends around the world.
Fam was looking SHOOK whenever Ali was getting loud. 🤣🤣🤣 Had me cracking up over here. That's just how some of us talk, we get loud when we're passionate about a subject.
Love this comment.
And we don't mean any harm. He said, "you're scaring me a little bit". 😂🤣
Loud = Passionate
Ali is a mess! He was on his best sh** LOL I just love him.
Had him ShooK!!! Lol 😆 😆 😆
Homie looked legit terrified for a min there 😂 I'm fuckin dieing watching this
By the end of the video Ali sounds like he smokes 100 packs of cigarettes from getting so loud early on
I can listen to Ali Saddiq talk all day. Thank you so much for having him on❤️
I could too he talks so calm i love it
what makes Ali so great is the way he tells the story, his cadence, tone and his over all demeanor.
The one thing I love about Ali is that he is so humble. I think he'd be the same way if he were on a Dave Chappelle level as far as fame goes. Ali is so aware of himself as a comedian. I never heard anyone breakdown a true stand up comedian like that. I love how the interviewer didn't get combative when Ali got hype.
Ali is not a sell out. He is keeping his soul intact and being who he is and confident and humble in who he is in his comedy. Blessings brother.💪🏾😊
Just found this amazing comedian. No one like him! A class act and making a difference!
He wont compromise honor and integrity for anything.
How refreshing!
I absolutely love Ali's unorthodox style of comedy. It's so captivating and refreshing! 👏🏼❤
Ali is pure talent 100% and 100% settled in his life. What a Champ 🏆🙏❤
Officially an Ali fan. My new favorite comedian.
He is the truth for sure. I post new interviews every week. Have you heard any of the others?

Ali's comedy is is as real as it it gets. I watch all of his clips. He's an exceptional human being.
I love this man. He is the most realest person. He’s funny as hell. He is also smart and knows what he stands for.
My 20 years old son turned me on to his comedy and he has me in Tears I lived in that lifestyle.. he's been talking about ..he made a bad life situation funny And sometimes you just have to laugh at what you been through 💯💯 Thank you brother
When slowed his speech and lowered his voice, he was pissed. Glad he kept going with the interview. Thanks Ali, much respect.

I love Ali's comedy. I think he is funnier than most headliners
Ali gently educated the young man on the “revealing the bottom of your foot”. Well done.

It is amazing how underrated this incredible philosopher is. This brother is real and he is sharing how to live. I rate him. Bless up Ali.
Ali, I have ALWAYS thought the world of you since the very first time I heard any of your comedy! But after this interview, I love you even more. You are honest and true to yourself and your craft. I loved how when he wasn’t understanding what you were saying, you set him straight saying, “Why can’t being an amazing stand up be enough!? I’m not JUST a standup! I AM a stand up comedian! Dude, you nailed that shit! That is EXACTLY right! Then at the end of the interview when you talked about the warm up guy, and how he is living his best life, working two WEEKDAYS a week, (maybe he wants to be home with his family on weekends) and he’s happy. He’s HAPPY. Man, THAT is success. That is fulfillment. Being happy, with who and what you are, and what you put out into this world. You are doing that man. More importantly, more than anything, your babies are watching you do that. You are setting an amazing example as to what true leadership and integrity is in this life. Man you killin it. Absolutely killin it. As a comedian, a father…a human being man. You absolutely inspire me. God how I wish you all the best! Much love and blessings to you and yours! ❤️👑💯🙌🏻
Ali is such an *amazingly hilarious* comedian!

THE 💎💎💎💎 my goodness! I love that his intensity is not personal…it’s about teaching and offering an opportunity to learn and hopefully apply to Self. WOAH!! This was great!
I love him he’s so funny and great skills in storytelling.
For sure one of the best!
This guy always has new material. He is funnier than all of the ‘ top’ comedians combined.
You should be on all those things cause you are funny as hell and a great storyteller
Pure TALENT !!
And Ali that's exactly why you would be in the top of the list bc you are so humble bro you are the the goat
Bruh I had a truck trainer wit his same energy when I ask him questions he would get so mad 🤣🤣🤣

Ali Siddiq is ON THE RISE!
WoW !! Truly Educational & Informational 👍 Ali the truth...
Thanks Daniem! We have 400+ comedy interviews. Subscribe and hang out with us!
As much as I love Ali, I have to correct him when he said Richard Prior’s first movie was JoJo Dancer. He had roles in Lady sings the blues, The Mack, Uptown Saturday Night, Which way is up and Greased Lightning before JoJo Dancer.
The greatest stand-up comic in the game in my humble opinion.
Man, I love Ali’s comedy. Seen him live a couple times, watched tons of videos, seen the specials he’s put out, etc. But I find it so hard to listen to him in interviews for some reason. Dude’s hilarious, but there’s something about the way he interacts with people that’s just off-putting man.
That being said, this was a great interview. It’s nice to hear someone essentially say, “just go up there and be yourself man, you’ll work it out. There’s no rules to this shit!”
I didn't know about you because I stopped watching Comedy Central more than 20 years ago when the fresh cussing ass kid dropped a turd and named it "CHEF." I grew up listening to Isaac Hayes (BLACK MOSES) since 1968, met him in the 80's, I don't care what happened, COMEDY CENTRAL should never disrespect any human being like that. Thanks for dropping SPECIALS on you tube. You are THE BEST PERIOD in my opinion.
Great interview! In the beginning all I could think was, "Be grateful you are not cellmates!" LOL!
I'm glad I watch your interviews and Stand Up SPECIALS repeatedly. I've seen this interview many times and I get it. DOMINO EFFECT, you portrayed the gay person mad because he always has to come to the park to cop. Then you talked about being in "THE CADILLAC," not noticing that those inmates were "light."
Love this guy!
A living legend! Have you heard our other interview with him? Subscribe and check it out.
❤❤❤!!!
Educate them youngins'!
You provided solid advice for any career not only in stand up.
You are absolutely on point with SO MUCH. Life is about living 4 sure.
So many ppl don't have a clue how to be free and take ownership of their customized style in their aspirations.
You are most definitely interesting and ON POINT. Keep rising and rock on, brother!
Love following your path❤❤❤
I cant speak for others man but i am definitely a huge fan and im definitely black. One of the best comedians out here. Story telling is top notch punch lines on point and how humble he is. Its unmatched.
Just found out about him a couple of years ago. Love His perspective and comedy.
Your so humble Siddiq…bless you!🙌🏾
Truth spoken and wisdom dispelled, if you are listening for it.
i really like this interview! #Salute
Thanks for listening! What did you enjoy most about the interview?
Ali is truly a storyteller. That is the best type of stand up artist.
He speaks his truth, no need to write anything down he has so much trauma and retelling his stories are actually life events that lead to more reflection that's why you can feel him in his emotions that's life. His on his own lane, he has a valuable voice that can be that sound and reason to transform our at risk your to turn their lives around a cautionary testimony that makes him Gold he is not glamorizing any of the criminal lifestyle it has high risks and consequences and he has paid for it all in his lifetime all that is raw and insane and it has a place that is fictional in this society at all levels
I remember seeing him in person a year ago here in philly, right before everyone had to quarantine
The cut scences to Ali's reactions are hilarious. I love this interview. Real raw
Thanks James! We're glad you enjoyed the interview. Did you subscribe??
@@HotBreathPod yurp
@@mrjamesasable Thanks James. Welcome to the Hot Breathiverse!
The Best Comedian I've seen in Person 😂😂😂😂😂
It got very intense. I really like the jewels. Break the fuckin rules
#AllDay I appreciate your support. His first interview with us is linked in the description. There are over 140 other great interviews on our iTunes and Spotify pages too. We’re just now getting RUclips. 💯
It really surprised me to hear Ali talking about how he doesn't feel like he is seen as a "famous" comedian. He is literally, hands down one of my top few favorite comedians. Out of EVERYBODY. He's incredible. He is right, though, in the sense that he seems to be far too REAL to be some plastic Hollywood fame machine. It's all about perpspective, I suppose. If you see this, Ali, you are a damn BOSS and I not only admire you, but I have an immense amount of respect for you and I appreciate the work that you do. You have made me laugh when I am having the worst days and I didn't think I could smile let alone a laugh out loud belly laugh. I know there are TONS of people who feel the same way. Thank you for doing what you do and please do not ever stop! You deserve the best that this world has to offer.
Ali is as true as they come, he means everything he says
I have tickets for one week from now. I can't wait.
3 minutes in and I just learned a valuable life lesson. Subbed!
Thanks Erick! Do you do comedy also?
I’ve been following Ali since 2000-2001 during the BET Comic View days.
Oh yeah he’s a legend for sure and has been funny for a LONG TIME. It’s exciting to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
I love Ali. He inspired me a long time ago. He will rise through the fakers tho. He is a real one and his followers are loyal. He might be too real. Like Eddie Griffin is funny af but he to real to get to famous. He won't bend to no one. I respect that.
All facts!
Thanks for sharing. Love ever second.
Thanks for watching! We've actually interviewed Ali twice. Subscribe and check it out.
Good information. Btw: Bill Cosby, and Dick Gregory used to sit also at shows or lectures. But definitely Ali is taking it to another level in these times.
