Brown was a practising chartered accountant when he performed at the opening night of the Comedy Store in 1979. Despite the best efforts of hecklers, he decides a comedy career is for him and a year later forms the Comic Strip with the likes of Peter Richardson. He quit his accountancy career in 1983 to perform full-time on the comedy circuit and hasn't looked back since. Billy Connolly is reported to be a fan of his distinctive laid-back style.

The maestro of the comic pause, come back Arnold our TV needs you

Gavin Ramejkis, November 2008

Great and tragically underrated. I remember him in The Young Ones and Hello Mum and he was superb.

Michael Monkhouse, September 2007

Arnold is one of the funniest comedians out there. He dosn't perform much these days but if you get the chance, rush to see him

Richard Ableson , February 2006

Seen him four or five times and cried with laughter every time. Fantastic

RT, February 2006

He resembles a startled owl.
