Ali Siddiq adds 18 markets to Custom Fit tour

Ali Siddiq expanded his Ali Siddiq: Custom Fit stand-up tour by 18 markets on Tuesday, with new dates beginning January 2, 2027, Deadline reported in an October 20 news article.

The report says Siddiq finished his 64th Custom Fit show with 7,000 tickets sold at an October 16 State Farm Arena date in Atlanta, extending a move into larger rooms.

The added itinerary includes January 2 at Mystic Lake Casino near Minneapolis, January 8 at Meridian Hall in Toronto, March 6 at Radio City Music Hall in New York and April 17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Tickets for the newly announced dates are scheduled to reach the general public on Friday, October 23, at 10 am local time. An artist pre-sale is set for Wednesday, October 21, at the same time, according to Deadline.

Siddiq had already played his first arena shows in Baltimore, Tallahassee and Atlanta, with Chicago still listed as upcoming in the report. Deadline said Siddiq curated the Nashville bill.

For live comedy, arenas represent a larger-capacity step beyond the clubs and theaters where many stand-ups build touring businesses. Deadline reported that Siddiq had been hesitant about that move because he valued smaller-room intimacy, but is now heading toward more regular arena appearances.

Siddiq’s direct-to-audience model is part of the commercial context. Deadline reported that his YouTube channel has 1.6 million subscribers and more than 400 million total views, and that he releases multiple specials a year on the platform.

Earlier in 2026, Siddiq won an NAACP Image Award for _My Two Sons_, which Deadline described as an independently produced and released comedy special. His special _Rugged_ earned three Webby honors, and _My Father_ has drawn more than 5 million views since its Father’s Day premiere, according to the report.

The report did not disclose grosses, ticket prices, venue capacities for the full added route or sales targets for the new dates. Without those figures, the financial size of the expansion cannot be assessed from the article.

Siddiq’s next stand-up special, _The Dog_, is scheduled for December 13 and is described by Deadline as his third special of the year. Four additional specials have already been filmed and are planned for release in 2027, the report said.
