    I would like to ask the owner of this channel to give Mr. Saddiq a message from me:
    You are in my top five favorite comedians. I'm 60 years old and I just found you. I feel a loss inside for all those years of your comedy that I've missed, but I'm going to start working on making up for lost time.
    🙂

    Probably my top interview to listen to and inspire me. I've been at it a year and every other day of every week I feel like giving up. But I keep going because I hear stuff like this and realize I'm on the right track. I just need more time to develop. Beware the naysayers.

    I always loved comedy and studied the greats even when I didn't know I was a student. After the death of my youngest cousin, I realized it was time for me to live. One month ago I did my first open mic and cried afterwards. I've never felt so home; not even at home. Thank You ❣️

    I really love this. It's different in women's prisons. I was a suburban homemaker but I still got a felony. County is one thing, upstate is another but in both I just loved telling stories and making people laugh. I'd love to at least try stand up, I've got stories up the ying yang, and I met someone in Philly by me who does it who'll help. This is so helpful as well. ❤

    I love love love the comedy. Very original name. The sincere, helper, slave of god, the champion. I like that. I know just a little Arabic. But Ali Siddiq would be a much more common and authentic name as far as Arab names are concerned. That was just an observation no offense and I’m not an expert on Arab names.

    love your work man, but seriously, saying that shit about just because you used to work in whatever industry, doesnt mean you can be a comic telling funny stories about working in that industry...man, its literally your shit...'i used to be in prison, and heres a funny story...' fuck man, comedy is funny stories, if you funny and tell a good story, people laugh and youre successful....no need to be some kind of elitist just so you limit the completion in order to get more money... just be a better comedian, ffs... dudes bustin their asses out here doing regular jobs for shitty pay and youre gonna whine about some competition???
