About

I am joined this week by Houston Comic Superstar, Ali Siddiq and we discuss his mission to change the mindset of the Houston Comedic Fan Mindset. He joins me this week to discuss why he never left Houston when he hit it big and of course, his next comedy special, filmed right here in Houston at the Improv. We work through the mindset of comedy fans and of course comics on why they leave the city in an effort to make it big with many making no effort to support their hometown's talent. Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors. SAGAMORE This week’s episode is brought to you by Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey. They are reviving the tradition of Maryland-style rye whiskey at their Baltimore farm and waterfront distillery. Each batch of their whiskey is hand-blended for consistency in aroma, flavor, and texture, creating a balanced flavor profile with notes of warm cinnamon, vanilla bean, honey, and spice.
