Known for his Infectious energy, down-to-earth humor and muscles to rival Kumail Nanjiani, comedian Preacher Lawson was a fan favorite on season 12 of America’s Got Talent, and then a Grand Finalist in America’s Got Talent: The Champions. Though he never quite won the televised contests, he did win over a lot of fans with his inspiring story, perseverance and one-liners like: “I don’t have a thing for white women, I just live next to Trader’s Joe’s.” The vegan comic makes the Improv his home for the weekend. Praise Lil Jon 3:16.

Raunchy dummy jokes a la Jeff Dunham are cool and all, but as they say, variety is the spice of life. Ventriloquist wunderkind Darci Lynne has been making the rounds with a national tour since winning America’s Got Talent last year. She and her colorful cast of characters are double threats as they frequently sing in between jokes during her act. In a world where ventriloquism seems may seem like old fogey fare, Lynne’s kid-friendly take on the art form is a welcome breath of fresh air.
