Arnez J LIVE at Houston Improv

About the Performer

Arnez J is one of stand-up comedy's most explosive and beloved performers — a comedian whose infectious energy, physical storytelling, and ability to leave crowds in tears of laughter have made him a fan favorite for over two decades.

From his early days as a flight attendant to turning down a pro baseball career to pursue comedy, Arnez quickly rose through the ranks. He became a household name as the host of BET's Comic View for two seasons, and has since appeared on Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam, Comedy Central Presents: Arnez J, and Showtime's Shaquille O'Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam.

In April 2025, Arnez released his first comedy special in 10 years, "Not Gonna Stop", on YouTube, where it racked up over 1 million views in the first 10 days. His hit special "Racially Motivated" is streaming on Amazon and Tubi. Still touring, still evolving, and still bringing the funny — Arnez J is back and he's not gonna stop.
