Preacher Lawson on Tour
Exuberant and hilarious, Preacher Lawson is the kind of performer whose energy cannot be contained by any stage, and that includes America's Got Talent. In 2017, television's most popular talent contest transformed Lawson into comedy's next superstar, introducing him to the wider audience he's deserved since he first began making fans in his hometowns of Memphis and Orlando.
Lawson's reputation is based on his smartly crafted material, unabashedly physical sense of humor, and flair for impressions (his high-spirited pastor character is vivid proof of that). He continues to make the same impact on audiences that he did on viewers and judges when he was a Top Ten finalist for America's Got Talent Season 12. He also finished fifth when he returned for America's Got Talent: The Champions in early 2019.
Audiences can catch Lawson in clubs and theaters across the U.S. and Canada.
Preacher Lawson Background
Even in the brief audition that was the first step toward his breakout on America's Got Talent, Preacher Lawson's comedy skills were readily apparent to TV's most famous judges. "Preacher, can I get just one more joke?" asked a new fan by the name of Simon Cowell, who also called him "unbelievably talented." Comedy legend Howie Mandel was quick to agree.
Lawson's TV breakout was a welcome achievement for a comedian who's been working hard to perfect his craft ever since he made his performance debut at the age of 17 at an open mic night at the University of Memphis in Tennessee. After establishing himself in Orlando's comedy scene, he won the Funniest Comedian in Florida in 2015 before earning top honors in the Seattle International Comedy Competition the following year.
Now based in Los Angeles, Lawson continues to tour nationwide while adding to a list of high-profile TV appearances that includes Last Call with Carson Daly, Inside Joke with Asif Ali, and Coming to the Stage, along with his star turns on America's Got Talent. Viewers also can see Lawson put his unique spin on travel, cooking, and more on his YouTube channel, which now has nearly 250,000 subscribers.
I first saw Preacher on AGT, he made me laugh. I think only 15% of comics make me literally laugh out loud. He seemed a bit off near the end with the constant people yelling at him. It was a great date night.
Great show-- Preacher and Adam Bush were hilarious!!
Preacher was very funny but the show was ruined by several people who obviously had too much to drink. They kept yelling out and throwing Preacher off.
Great show! I saw Preacher 3 years ago and this show was a great as the first. Funny funny man. I can't wait to see him again someday.
An amazing, refreshing, and fulfilling experience! Preacher Lawson and Mama Lawson are must-see!!
This was my first ever live comedic experience and Preacher didn't disappoint! My seats were close to the stage! I loved his Mama's set, you can tell she gets his comedic genes from her! The other comedic was very funny as well! The only thing that was aggy was one of the older ladies in the audience kept heckling unnecessarily throughout Preacher's set! He handled it well!
Hysterical, kept it clean & very focused on the audience
As always, Preacher brings the best to Boston. For those who have not seen him live, go out and get a ticket.
Loved the show! Preacher was hilarious, as was his opener and his mom! Such a fun night in the city. Only negative was the theater, a bit old. And when we were leaving, it was quite a bottleneck trying to exit so we had to wait a very long time since they blocked off one of the stairs. Other than that, GREAT NIGHT! Highly recommend going to Preacher's next show!
Aw man! Preacher is hilarious. I saw him from his first episode of AGT and he has gotten more funny if that's possible. What I appreciate so much is that he is showing that you can be side stitching funny without being vulgar and profane. Thank you Preacher for making me laugh without cringing. You did not disappoint. Your comedy is for everyone! Enjoyed you too Momma Lawson :)
