Arnez J.

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.
