Preacher Lawson first gained national attention as a finalist on America’s Got Talent and has since built a global fan base through touring, social media, and multiple comedy specials. Preacher headlines clubs and theaters across the world, selling out shows with material that blends sharp observations, family stories, and fearless honesty. Raised in a military family and shaped by life on the move, Preacher’s comedy centers on resilience, relationships, and finding humor in chaos. Beyond stand-up, he creates digital content, develops film and TV projects, and collaborates with other comedians and creators. His work has been featured on NBC, Netflix Is a Joke, and major comedy festivals, and his independently released specials have reached millions online. With a loyal audience and an unmistakable stage presence, Preacher continues to expand from stand-up into storytelling across film, documentary, and unscripted projects—most recently chronicling life on the road with his family in his first documentary feature.

Daniela Mora is a New York-based comedian, creator, and actress who was named a 2023 New York Comedy Festival "Creator to Watch.” Most recently, Mora released her debut special on Tubi as part of their 'Jokes on Us: New Voices in Comedy' program, with features on Amazon Prime and Adult Swim. Her Hispanic background brings a playful tone to her stand-up and online persona.
