Preacher Lawson headlines big homecoming gig in Orlando this week

Come Friday, Orlandoans might just need a laugh (or 200), so thank god for prodigal son Preacher Lawson.

Lawson headlines a rare and big-time homecoming show Friday night in the Milk District. Lawson’s “Funny as Bleep” tour is taking him on a Southern swing before some intensive late-November gigging in Canada. (Which should be, uh … bracing for a Floridian.)

He’s a clean comedian, yes, but still wickedly funny, with millions of TikTok views and hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers waiting to see what he says next.

Lawson is headlining the Plaza Live but he honed his storytelling chops at the nearby Bull & Bush, which makes this gig just a little more meaningful. But then we’re just preaching to the choir, aren’t we?

7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, The Plaza Live, $24-$67.
