Canton Comedy Boom Presents: The Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour

Join Canton Comedy Boom on Saturday Jan 18th for the Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour!

The Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour was founded by comedian, Wills Maxwell Jr. Each show is a celebration of Black community, culture, and resilience.

The tour has grown over the past couple years to include new cities, and we are so excited that the tour will be adding the Canton Comedy Boom stage to their 2025 stops! 

A Black Power Rangers Comedy Show features a revolving lineup of touring comics joined by talented special guest comics, creating a unique experience in every city.

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, was a regional finalist in StandUp NBC, and a finalist at Ultimate Comic Challenge. 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 five 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 well-known comedians, including Ramy Youssef, Roy Wood Jr., Tim Meadows, and Jim Gaffigan.

As always, the Patina art gallery and studios will be open for viewing and we encourage you to check out our downtown Canton page for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!
