David A. Arnold Teaches Hilarious Life Lessons in It Ain't For the Weak

David A. Arnold Teaches Hilarious Life Lessons in It Ain't For the Weak

Whether you know David A. Arnold from his years on the club circuit or from his work as a writer on Fuller House or you’re just hearing about him for the first time, his new hour It Ain’t For the Weak is a strong second Netflix special.

Arnold’s animated physical comedy elevates his jokes. When he arrives onstage, he immediately sets the mic stage toward the back so he can skip on an imaginary playground or eat bland potatoes at a Bakersfield prison. He can really set a scene, both with subtle movements and his impressions. Arnold uses his voice to the fullest—both literally and figuratively—by bringing us from a whisper to a bellow and focusing on his own personal experiences. He’s a straight-talking club comedian who’s clearly honed his craft.

No matter how successful comedian David A. Arnold gets, the Cleveland native and 1986 Beachwood High School graduate always returns home to get the laughs.

That’s a stark contrast from what the 20-year stand-up veteran — who has made his living performing, acting and writing for TV and film — experienced as a teenager making his open-mic debut.
