Event Details

To those in the know Arnez J. one of the hottest, most talked about comedic artists in the game. His
raw energy, talent and comedic skill quickly landed Arnez the coveted hosting slot on BET’s longestrunning comedy series “Comic View” for two seasons joining the ranks of hosts such as D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer. His hilarious new comedy special “Racially Motivated” is now available on
Netflix. Arnez J.'s charisma and physical agility are unforgettable. “J is a whirling dervish on stage--he runs, jumps, spins, slides, slips, and mugs through a performance, acting out many of his bits while describing them,” wrote Doug Kaufman in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Arnez admits of himself “I've always expressed my things through mannerisms and facial expressions rather than speaking.”
On his own at age 14, Arnez lied about his age to get a job at a gas station to work his way through
school. With dreams to become a professional baseball player, Arnez began working as a flight
attendant when those baseball plans fell through. It was while working as a flight attendant that Arnez discovered his comedic talent. He realized that he had the ability to keep the passengers and crew laughing and, upon encouragement from friends, he made his first attempt at stand-up comedy. After that first night on stage, he knew what he wanted to do. He left his job with the airlines and made the decision to devote all of his time to a career in comedy. Arnez got a chance to combine his ambitions as both an athlete and performer when he was recruited by scouts for the famed Harlem Globetrotters basketball team who saw his very physical comedy routine at a local basketball game. However, after several months, a knee injury ended his Globetrotters career, finally clearing the way for him to devote himself full time to standup comedy.
An Atlanta native, Arnez began working the comedy circuit in Georgia and quickly became one of
“Hotlanta's” funniest newcomers. A finalist in the “Bay Area Black Comedy Competition,” he was
immediately noticed by the entertainment industry and was asked to make his first television
appearance on Showtime's “Comedy Club Network.” Numerous television appearances soon followed
including appearances on “The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show,” “Louie Anderson's Comedy Showcase,”
Comedy Central's “Make Me Laugh,” NBC's “Friday Night Videos,” “The Mo’Nique Show”, Russell
Simmons' “Def Comedy Jam,” his own BET “Comic View Grandstand Hour Special,” and “Comedy
Central Presents: Arnez J.” He was most recently seen headlining Showtime’s “Shaquille O'Neal
Presents: All Star Comedy Jam.”
Today, Arnez is widely considered one of the best working artists, with a polished and highly
entertaining standup routine that keeps his audiences entertained without having to use profanity. In
keeping with his plan, Arnez keeps up a dizzying pace performing for sold out crowds at arenas and
other venues across the country.
