Best known from this past season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Preacher Lawson was a Top 5 Finalist on the show’s highest-rated season to date.

He moved 20 times before the age of 10, but considers himself a native to Orlando, Florida, as he believes it is the city where he grew most as a comedian.

In 2015, he won the title of Funniest Comedian in Florida and was crowned the winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition in 2016. Preacher made his TV debut in 2017 on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly and also appeared on Comedy Dynamic’s Coming To The Stage. He currently headlines at major comedy clubs, colleges and theaters throughout the country.
