Most comedy clubs have the same characteristics audience members packed tightly together, intimate spaces and low ceilings, all designed to encourage and amplify laughter.
Minor league baseball parks, especially during a pandemic, offer none of those things, but Preacher Lawson is filling them with laughter.
On his current tour, the “America’s Got Talent” finalist is playing several minor league parks, including Eastwood Field in Niles on May 13.
During a telephone interview from Lafayette, La., Lawson said he didn’t come up with the idea of playing ballparks, but it’s using the nontraditional venues in the same way drive-in movie theaters are hosting concerts and comedy shows while indoor venues are restricted due to COVID-19. And audience members who haven’t had many live entertainment options don’t need low ceilings or a two-drink minimum to be entertained.
