Who Josh Arnold is
Josh Arnold is a stand-up comedian and radio personality from St. Louis, known for intelligent yet silly, often self-deprecating comedy. Voted St. Louis's best male comic by the Riverfront Times, he joined Westwood One's syndicated Bob & Tom Show as a regular cast member in August 2016 and is heard on it every morning while performing in comedy clubs around the country. He has written material for Comedy Central's @midnight and The Burn, his comedy has been heard on SiriusXM, and his album Half Fat came out on 800 Pound Gorilla Records in 2023; its track Parents and Kids was played on SiriusXM's Raw Comedy channel in September 2024.
