Cause it won’t be long til I see you again   When all the madness fades, will you be there? Live with the ghosts of all of those you failed   Or will you face the consequence? Will you write how the story ends?

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. He started writing jokes when he was 16, then decided to perform for the first time a year later on a bet with his mother. Best decision of his life. In 2015 Preacher won the title of Funniest Comedian In Florida, in 2016 he was crowned the winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition. He's continued the wave of momentum on into 2017 and he's on quite a roll this year so far - having made his television debut on NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly" followed by an appearance on Comedy Dynamic's "Coming To The Stage" soon after. He is also currently making a big splash on NBC's "America's Got Talent" which recently beat the MLB All-Star game in ratings!

In his electrifying second stand-up special, ‘My Name Is Preacher,’ the dynamic comedian Preacher Lawson brings his trademark high-energy style to the stage. Sharing uproarious tales from his comedic journey, Preacher invites audiences into his world of family-friendly humor, infused with boundless charm. From his nomadic upbringing to navigating life with a mischievous dog, to getting pulled over on his birthday, Preacher’s infectious energy and hilarious anecdotes promise a laugh-out-loud experience for all. ◦ Directed by: Gordie Earle III ◦ Produced by: Don’t Tell Comedy ◦ Executive Producers: Preacher Lawson & Adam Ginivisian 00:00 Intro 02:40 Touring Overseas 04:31 Long Hair 07:55 Michael Jackson Lyrics 10:52 My Name Is Preacher 15:27 Born In Oregon 19:20 Cussing 21:34 Bullied 24:54 Superpowers 26:35 Strict Mom 32:47 I Have To Pee 33:39 Audience Member Leaving Me 35:38 I’m Single 37:38 Applebees Giftcard 38:42 Audience Member Comes Back 43:30 My Dog Tank 50:36 Moving To LA 56:57 People Love Dogs 59:08 My First Sunburn 🎟 See Me on Tour 🎟 Tickets at https://www.PreacherLawson.com Socials & Web Website: https://preacherlawson.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PreacherLawson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preacherlawson/ X: https://twitter.com/PreacherLawson TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@preacherlawson Preacher Lawson was born in Portland, OR, but spent most of his adolescence in Memphis, TN.

Let's just say things got interesting. 😎 Here's an exclusive sneak peek! MATT RUBY | SUBSTANCE A comedy experiment: 4 nights. 4 shows. 4 substances... 🚫 Sober 🌿 Weed 🥃 Booze 🍄 Shrooms ▶️ WATCH THE FULL SPECIAL: https://youtu.be/2Ak5CQSVVvI ABOUT What happens when a control freak decides to lose control? That’s the question at the heart of Substance, comedian Matt Ruby’s new comedy special/documentary/experiment. In Substance, Ruby performs four standup sets, each one filmed a week apart, in a different state of mind: high, drunk, tripping on shrooms, and sober. Ruby takes the mission seriously – and winds up getting seriously f*%$ up. The film, directed by Matthew Salacuse, also includes documentary footage of the day preceding each performance, including conversations between Ruby and fellow comedians like Shane Torres, Andy Haynes, and Mark Normand about comedy, sobriety, performing under the influence, and more. “There’s a civil war in my head. I want everything to be perfect, but I also love it when things run wild,” explains Ruby. “So I decided to create this experiment, using substances I enjoy offstage but don’t typically use while performing to disrupt my status quo.” Each show was filmed at the New York Comedy Club in NYC’s East Village in front of unsuspecting audiences. “These weren’t ‘special’ tapings where the audience is all pumped up, they were just regular spots on showcase shows,” explains Ruby. “The crowd didn’t know anything about what I was doing until I went onstage. The whole goal was to do a real show and see if I'd crash and burn or still be able to stick the landing. Honestly, even I was surprised by how it all turned out.” In his sets, Ruby discusses each of the substances ingested alongside jokes about his therapist, magicians, politicians, serial killers, the battle of the generations, and much more. There are also deeper musings from Ruby about social media addiction, ego, death, and his mom’s (and the venue's) surprising relationship with the Velvet Underground. The result is a compelling, hilarious, and surprisingly philosophical adventure. “For a seemingly shallow idea, it winds up getting pretty deep. And it shows how these substances can really impact you in wildly different ways,” Ruby says. “Also, it showed me how much audiences want humanity more than perfection. Although I cringe at some of the sloppier moments, I can still see how they're captivating in their own way. Even when things didn’t go according to plan, it still wound up feeling right for the project. Sometimes not knowing the way is the way.” Substance is edited by Anthony Verderame (The Problem With Jon Stewart, Roy Wood Jr.: No One Loves You). Sets were filmed at the Good Eggs show at New York Comedy Club in NYC’s East Village. The soundtrack features music from Plastics Hi-Fi, the indie rock band Ruby fronted in Chicago in the early 2000s before he began performing comedy.
