Wilmington NC – Wills Maxwell Jr.

I’m Co-Headlining Dead Crow!

January 24, 2024January 24, 2024 wmaxwell17

I’m teaming up with my friend and fellow Black Power Ranger, Jordan Centry for ONE NIGHT ONLY at my home club, The Dead Crow Comedy Room! Jordan and I went on tour last year as part of the Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour and I’m excited to share a stage with him again.

The show is Thursday, February 22nd at 7pm. Tickets are already on sale HERE so make sure to grab yours. My friend, Louis Tee will be hosting! Louis is the comedic mind behind the After Brunch Comedy show and I’m happy he’s bringing his talents to BPR. This is a RARE occurrence so make sure you don’t miss it and tell your friends! They’ll love this one.

Black Power Rangers Comedy presents dual headliners Jordan Centry and Wills Maxwell Jr! Don’t miss seeing QC Nerve’s “Best Charlotte Comedian” and “Port City’s Top Comic ” share a stage for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Jordan and Wills delight audiences with sharp social commentary that never fails to make people laugh and learn. Hosted by local favorite, Louis Tee, this is a comedy show unlike any you’ve seen.

Jordan Centry has always had a love for comedy. 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, including Don’t Tell Comedy. Jordan has opened for comedians such as Rodney Perry, Tanyalee Davis, and Michael Palascak. He was voted Best Charlotte Comedian 2022 by QC Nerve.

Wills won Port City’s Top Comic in 2019 and was a regional finalist in StandUp NBC 2018. His comedy news segment “What Did We Miss?” ran on WWAY for over 5 years. He 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 is the founder of the “Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour”

I am beyond excited to kick off Dead Crow’s locals weekend this year. I will be headlining the show Friday, December 28th at 7:00 p.m.

It’s an honor to headline but what has me even more excited are the other comics on the lineup. The always hilarious Deshawn Mason will be coming in from Charleston to feature. My good friend and “Late Fear” co-host, Jonathan Schwartz, will be performing AND Feliz Nadeau will be kicking things off. That’s a lot of talent. I’ll likely just end the show when they’re done because honestly, what’s the point?

I cannot wait for this show. I’d wish it was happening sooner were it not for the considerable marketing push I still need to do. I’ll see you on December 28th!

I foolishly made a whole blog post just to tell you the info that’s in the title and first sentence so… how are you? Things good? Good. Oh, me? I’m good too. Not much going on. I’m featuring for Erica Rhodes soo- oh, I told you already? Dope. Dope dope dope. I just thought I’d tell you since you’re usually all “When’s your next show?” Alright, well, see you this weekend? Cool.
