The Black Power Rangers are a group of sharp, insightful, Black comedians from the South. Their revolving and growing lineup has been making audiences laugh since 2022. They embark on their third tour this fall. Come laugh as they effortlessly weave social commentary with pop culture for a uniquely hilarious show. Featuring stand-up from Wills Maxwell Jr. (Wilmington, NC), Jordan Centry (Charlotte, NC), and Brandi Augustus (Knoxville, TN). This is a show you can't miss.

Wills Maxwell Jr.

Wills Maxwell, Jr. started doing stand-up comedy when he was in 4th grade. His teacher didn’t appreciate him interrupting the class and his parents didn’t appreciate him getting in trouble. Due to the lack of appreciation, Wills retired from the business and started doing stand-up comedy again after he left high school. Since resuming his comedy career, Wills has won Port City’s Top Comic (Wilmington, NC), was a regional finalist in StandUp NBC, and a finalist at Ultimate Comic Challenge (Greensboro, NC). He also wrote and performed his on-air comedy news segment “What Did We Miss?” on Wilmington TV station WWAY News every Thursday morning for 5 years, totaling over 180 episodes. Wills has performed at the Cola Comedy Convention, the North Carolina Comedy Festival, the Oak City Comedy Festival and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival. Wills hosted Wilmington’s late-night talk show “Late Fear with Wills Maxwell” for three years. He has also opened for several comedians including Roy Wood Jr., Tim Meadows, and Jim Gaffigan.

Jordan Centry

Jordan Centry has always had a love for comedy. From growing up in Stoneville, NC, to obtaining a master’s degree from UNC, Jordan has a knack for approaching everyday observations and experiences with intelligence, silliness, and a touch of southern that audiences find hilarious and charming. Jordan first began standup in Winston-Salem, NC, before becoming a fan favorite in Charlotte, performing in shows and festivals across the southeast. Jordan has opened for comedians such as George Willborn, Clint Coley, and Samuel J. Comroe.

Brandi Augustus

Brandi Augustus is a comedian and storyteller based in East TN. She shares her radically honest truths in a hilariously relatable way. Brandi has opened for Amber Autry, Katherine Blandford, Shelly Belly and Sam Tallent. During Brandi's second year of performing at the Second Bell festival she opened for Big Boi of Outkast. She has recently made it to the finals of the Blue Ridge Comedy Festival and will be performing in the West End Comedy Festival.

(She has also accidentally kidnapped M-1 of the legendary hip-hop group Dead Prez but she doesn't talk about that too often...)
