Comedian- Preacher Lawson
* Comedian- Preacher Lawson.
A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…
Jeff,
From past columns I know that you follow NBC’s America’s Got Talent show!
What do you think of comedian Preacher Lawson who was a finalist this year on Season 12 America’s Got Talent?
Thanks,
Andy Gold

Andy Gold,
Jeff Eats is thinking that while growing up, Preacher Lawson watched a ton of Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy stand-up videos!
Jeff Eats enjoyed Preacher Lawson’s AGT appearances, that said, Ive seen “his” act many times before, if you get my drift?
Jeff Eats wishes Preacher well, but I wouldn’t bet the farm- that the AGT judges’ superstar predictions for him are in the cards!
(Does Preacher’s picture remind you of someone you know?)
Thanks for reading,
Jeff Eats
Jeff,
Right on the money on this one.
In addition to the Eddie Murphy rip-off, the guy talks way too fast and is almost impossible to understand what he is saying.
He’s got his shot, maybe a few gigs but that’s it for him.
The judges got carried away with their praise.
Preacher is an Eddie Murphy copy. He talks way to fast and is hard to follow. He got some PR from AGT but he won’t be big.
Eddie Murphy it is.
The guy is a copy.
Jeff,
He’s much better than you think he is.
Jeff,
Good call here.
This morning tickets went on sale for a Preacher show at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts. Not a bad venue, but not a major venue. In addition, to that Florida date he also has a handful of comedy club appearances.
So, it’s 7 seasons since his AGT show and he isn’t exactly a super star.
My wife and I saw his show at Coral Springs Ceneter show earlier this evening and he probably had 1/3rd of the seats filled.
Preacher is a very animated physical comedian. He talks so fast, that he really is hard to understand or follow.
Most of the audience seemed to love him. We thought that he had his moments but we were basically bored with his act.
