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.
Took my son for his birthday! We had a blast. He even did a meet and greet after. The best!
Preacher is very funny. Great interaction with the audience. Took time after to meet with fans. Didn’t expect Mama Lawson to perform too.
I thoroughly enjoyed Preacher Lawson and his mama. I loved how he engaged his comedy routine with the audience. He's a very funny guy. I completely enjoyed myself.
While great for 3-minute sets on AGT, the comedian wasn’t great for an hour show. I found myself laughing just a few times during the entire show. It’s a family affair with his mom and brother also performing. They are all below average comedians in my opinion. In the last 2 years I’ve seen Fortune, Nate Bargetze, Bert Krieser. And frankly this show was worse than any of the opening acts from those shows. My wife and I were both left disappointed in the quality of this standup show.
This show was hilarious! First his mom came out to introduce him and I could see right then where he gets his sense of humor!! He was very fun and interacted with the crowd numerous times! I would definitely see him again!
It is my 2nd time seeing him with the same venue, what a coincidence! Preacher is getting better and better of his comedic genius! A laugh out loud moments from start to finish, can’t wait to relieve her magic soon again…
My husband and I went with another couple and we had a great time. Preacher put on a great show. Enjoyed him on AGT and saw him in Vegas. so it was great to be able to see him close up. He even had a question and answer session at the end of his show. Highly recommend.
Preacher has really upped his game since AGT it started out a tad slow but picked up really fast. I would definitely pay to see him again.
Preacher Lawson was so friendly. His jokes were great and also clean. Our kids had a great time!
Awsome show! Great venue, great time. Funny laughed my butt off
