Comedian Ali Siddiq will bring his brand-new national stand-up tour, The Custom Fit Tour, to The Bushnell on Saturday, April 4, 2026, for a one-night-only performance at 7 p.m.

Presented by The Bushnell in association with Outback Presents, the Hartford stop is part of a 26-market spring tour running through April, May and June. The tour follows Siddiq’s successful 2024–25 In the Shadows Tour and arrives as the comedian continues to build momentum as one of the most watched stand-up performers in the country. Tickets are now on sale through Bushnell.org, by phone and at The Bushnell box office.

Siddiq, whom Vulture has called “stand-up comedy’s most prolific storyteller,” is touring in support of all-new material. He is fresh off a 2026 NAACP Image Award nomination for Ali Siddiq: My Two Sons, the only independently produced and released YouTube stand-up special to earn a major award nomination.

Known for his long-form, narrative-driven style, Siddiq rose to widespread prominence with his four-part series The Domino Effect, released between 2022 and 2024, which has garnered more than 47 million views. Each installment became a major online event, cementing his reputation as a master of comedic storytelling and placing him among YouTube’s most-viewed comedians year after year.

In addition to My Two Sons, Siddiq has released multiple stand-up specials in recent years, including Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover and three hour-long specials in 2025 alone: Rugged, Mondays and My Two Sons. He is scheduled to release three more hour-long specials in 2026, all of which have already been filmed.

Born and raised in Houston, Siddiq developed his distinctive comedic voice through storytelling shaped by lived experience, a background that continues to inform his work. His career includes the Comedy Central special It’s Bigger Than These Bars, filmed inside a Texas jail, and a growing role as an executive producer supporting other comedians’ specials.
