Knicks WIN + Ali Siddiq's Best Prison Stories
"I get on the plane the day after I have surgery. I collapsed in the comedy club. This lady said 'Great show!' and I just went down. When I look back on that whole ordeal, I'm like, why was I that dedicated to stand-up? I must be crazy."
Siddiq revealed he traveled and performed stand-up shows just one day after undergoing surgery for a broken clavicle, broken ribs, and bruised sternum sustained in a wave accident. He eventually collapsed backstage after a fan patted him on the injury. The comedian questioned his own extreme dedication to the craft, admitting the decision seemed irrational in retrospect.
