Comedian Preacher Lawson stole the show on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with his hilarious stand-up routine. Lawson, who is currently on his Dis Functional Family Tour across the nation, had the audience in stitches with his witty jokes and relatable stories.
Lawson took the opportunity to give a playful jab at his brother, Justin Lawson, who is also a comedian but has never been on The Tonight Show. With a mischievous grin, Lawson exclaimed, “In your face!” much to the delight of the audience.
He went on to praise his brother’s comedic talents, sharing how he used to steal his jokes when he first started doing stand-up at the age of 17. Lawson humorously recounted how Justin would casually share funny stories in the living room, and he couldn’t resist incorporating them into his own routines.
Lawson’s comedic roots run deep within his family. He described how his brother Joshua once painted a Woody doll from Toy Story red, only to deny it when confronted by their mother. It was his 8-year-old brother Justin who hilariously revealed the truth, leaving their mom in stitches and sparing Joshua from a spanking that day.
The comedian also shared the challenges he faced while touring with another comedian. Despite the initial lack of enthusiasm from the audience, Lawson tried to win them over with his material. Unfortunately, he received a rare experience – getting booed. However, he managed to turn the situation around by roasting the audience, even though the boos grew louder. But as he was about to leave the stage disheartened, an encounter with a loyal fan reminded him of the impact he had on people. The fan, wearing a shirt with Lawson’s signature from 2019, expressed her support and offered a much-needed hug.
Lawson’s self-deprecating humor shines throughout his performance, making people laugh while also providing a glimpse into his journey as a comedian. He jokingly attributed his desire to make people laugh to his childhood filled with frequent whippings, which he humorously claimed contributed to his “swollen” booty.
With over 16 years of experience in comedy, Lawson continues to captivate audiences with his unique style and infectious silliness. Whether performing on his own tour or alongside other comedians, he has a knack for stealing the audience’s attention. While getting booed was a new experience for him, it only served as a reminder of his resilience and his ability to find humor in any situation.
Preacher Lawson‘s appearance on The Tonight Show was a testament to his comedic skills and the power of laughter. He left the stage with a final playful remark, declaring that the jokes he told were actually his brother’s. With his infectious energy and undeniable talent, Lawson is undoubtedly a comedian to keep an eye on.
