Ali Siddiq joins Funky Larry Jones on Majic 102.1

Ali Siddiq, a Houston native and comedian, will partner with radio legend Funky Larry Jones weekdays 2pm to 7pm on Majic 102.1 KMJQ.

 “My philosophy is that happiness is laughter, laughter is comedy and comedy is therapy," Siddiq said on the station's website.

Siddiq has worked along side D.L. Hughley, Bill Bellamy, Cedric the Entertainer, J. Anthony Brown, Mike Epps, Rickey Smiley, Kevin Hart and many more. 

He has performed comedy on the likes of BET, NBC, HBO, Comedy Central and TV One.

According to Comedy Central, Siddiq returned to the Texas state penitentiary system for a comedic performance, where he previously served six years for drug trafficking, to encourage and inspire inmates.

“Ali and I have been friends for many years exchanging stories of life experiences while laughing at the ups and downs! I’m really excited for Houston to hear the love and chemistry we share every weekday afternoon,”  Funky Larry Jones added.

“Ali has always been like family to Radio One and we’re so excited that he can officially call Majic 102.1 home,” Radio One Houston’s Vice President and General Manager, Pam McKay, said on the station's site.
