With three sell-out Edinburgh Fringes under his belt he delivers a blend of comedy with a heart, a refreshing mix of the ‘every man’ and the ‘modern man’. Ali won Hackney Empire New Act of the Year 2020 and has appeared on BBC Radio 4, TalkRadio, TalkSport. In 2024, Ali starred on Comedy Central Live and Stand Up Sketch Show and embarked on his first ever solo tour across the UK and Ireland to sold-out audiences.
