Preacher Lawson was born in Portland, OR, but spent most of his adolescence in Memphis, TN. He moved 20 times before the age of 10, but if you asked him what city he’s from he’d say Orlando, FL, because that’s where he grew as a comedian.

Based off his stellar performance in season 12, Lawson was invited to compete on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT: THE CHAMPIONS (2019) and BRITAN’S GOT TALENT: THE CHAMPIONS (2019) where he advanced to the finale after receiving the most fan votes. Most recently he was handpicked by Howie Mandell to participate in AMERICA’S GOT TALENT: FANTASY LEAGUE (2024). Lawson shot his first stand-up special, GET TO KNOW ME, which premiered on BET+ in 2019, then Amazon. His most recent special MY NAME IS PREACHER is set to be released globally on YouTube on March 14th 2024.
In Television, Lawson can be seen on HBO’s A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW, I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE with TIM ROBINSON, TOURNAMENT OF LAUGHS on TBS, as well as NBC’s CONNECTING as a series regular. He also hosted the Facebook Watch series WORLD’S MOST AMAZING DOGS (2019) with George Lopez and Lisa Vanderpump. He can be seen onTHE TONIGHT SHOW talking about his fame recognition and MMA fight.
