"Understanding diversity and multiculturalism requires that we eliminate or reduce the anxiety of our ignorance and how to speak honestly when we can't." -Preacher Moss Preacher Moss is clearly the new prototype for the comedian of these times and the times to come. A writer for "The Damon Wayans Show" and "Saturday Night Live," his comedy style is distinguished for being sculptured out of the everyday relevance of life and the rare glimpses of truth we value as reality.

"Speaking on Truth," Moss has been playing to the hearts and minds of college students and administrators all over the country. With his insight on "racial understanding vs. racial interaction" he has quickly become the funniest social commentator on the college scene today. The "End of Racism" is not just the name of the tour, but a commitment that we all share. Preacher Moss knows how to deliver the truth about racism through laughter, respect and the humility of a man who has felt the sting of racism personally.

Moss has a notable list of television appearances: NYC Urban Comedy Festival, BET Comicview, Comedy Central, Politically Incorrect, Nightline (ABC), and Latino Laugh Festival. He has performed with many artists including Maya Angelou, WAR, The Last Poets, Stanley Clarke, George Lopez, Darryl Hammond, Chris Farley, and many more…
