Ever since New York native Aries Spears was 14 years old, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene. His quick wit, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s <em>Mad TV</em>, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the “Musts” in the US.

This past summer, Aries guest starred in CNN’s <em>See It Loud</em> new summer series on the history of <em>Black Television</em> which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023, alongside Gabrielle Union, Judge Greg Mathis, Kevin Frazier, Loni Love, Tiffany Pollard, Tisha Campbell and many more.

As a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show <em>Mad TV</em>, Aries brought a fresh, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.

Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the movie <em>Home of Angels</em> which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s <em>The Pest</em> followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit, <em>Jerry Maguire</em>.

Additionally, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including: <em>Loveline, Vibe, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Soul Train and Late Friday</em>. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s <em>The Best Damn Sports Show Period</em>, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during his short time there.

Aries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood, it’s safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.

Vulture calls Ali Siddiq “stand-up comedy’s most prolific storyteller,” but audiences simply call him one of the best to ever do it.

From Houston, Texas, Ali developed his unmistakable voice in one of the most unlikely places, behind the walls of incarceration, where storytelling was survival, currency, and community. Today, that same voice has made him one of the most watched, respected, and consistently viral comedians in the world.

Ali is the first comedian in history to release a four-part stand-up series, THE DOMINO EFFECT 1–4,  a storytelling saga that has amassed over 50 million views and cemented his reputation as a master craftsman of narrative comedy. Each chapter became a cultural event, landing Ali among the top-viewed comedians on YouTube year after year.

His momentum has only accelerated. In 2025 alone, Ali released three hit specials and executive-produced a fourth:

• MY TWO SONS (12M+ views) – NAACP Award Nominee
• RUGGED (7M+ views)
• MONDAYS (3M views)
• Marcus D. Wiley: Marriage is Major Surgery (4M+ views)

His 2022 breakout, THE DOMINO EFFECT, remains one of the top 5 most-watched comedy specials of the year with more than 18 million views. The sequels — LOSS, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, and PINS & NEEDLES — quickly followed, each reaching millions within weeks and proving Ali’s status as the internet’s most unstoppable comedian-storyteller.

Fans first met Ali on DEF COMEDY JAM, Live From Gotham, and Comedy Central’s #1 Comic to Watch list. His legendary story “Mexicans Got On Boots” on This Is Not Happening (16M+ views) remains one of the most iconic comedy stories ever told. Comedy Central later sent him back inside a Texas jail to film It’s Bigger Than These Bars, now over 4M views.

Ali’s reach extends far beyond the stage — he has been featured on The Joe Rogan Experience, Club Shay Shay, 85 South, The Breakfast Club, Kill Tony, VladTV, Your Mom’s House, Good Morning America, and dozens of other top shows and podcasts, making him one of the most recognized and requested voices in comedy today.

With unmatched authenticity, unforgettable stories, and a style rooted in truth, resilience, and humor, Ali Siddiq has become the greatest storyteller of his generation — and one of the most influential comedians in the world.
