Knoxville Gets Ready for a Night of Laughter with the Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour
Get your calendars ready because Knoxville is in for a real treat on September 19. That’s the day the much-anticipated Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour rolls into town, and it’s promising a night filled with laughter and fun that you won’t want to miss. The event will take place at The Bottom, located at 2340 E. Magnolia Ave., starting at 7:30 p.m., with tickets available for just $15 plus taxes and fees.
What’s this Comedy Tour All About?
If you’re scratching your head wondering what the Black Power Rangers Comedy Tour is all about, let me fill you in. This tour is not your typical stand-up show; it features an all-Black lineup that showcases the incredible talents of comedians who share their unique life experiences and observations through humor. And the best part? The humor is relatable and fun for everyone!
The tour kicked off in 2022 by North Carolina-based comedian Wills Maxwell Jr., and Knoxville was lucky enough to be one of its first stops last year. Brandi Augustus, a local talent who is making waves in the comedy scene, also performed during that inaugural show. She’s back again and ready to bring her A-game to the stage this time around!
A Warm Welcome
Wills Maxwell Jr. had nothing but praise for Knoxville during a recent statement, saying, “The support in this city is unmatched. We came here last year and were welcomed like we’ve lived here our whole lives. I’ve never seen a city embrace a community like Knoxville.” Such words genuinely reflect the spirit of this vibrant city!
Bringing along an exciting lineup, the show features not only Brandi and Wills but also Jordan Centry and Richard Douglas Jones. Each of these talented performers brings their own brand of humor to the stage, ensuring that there will be plenty of laughs to go around!
Local Support
It’s heartwarming to see local businesses come together to support this event. Knoxville’s own Nirvana Comics, Frog City Artisanal Kombucha, and Sergeant Pepperoni’s are partnering with the tour to make this show possible. This collaboration not only highlights the community spirit but also enriches the cultural landscape of Knoxville.
More Than Just a Comedy Tour
Wills Maxwell explains that this initiative is “not just a tour; it’s a movement,” emphasizing the importance of highlighting Black voices and connecting Black talent across the South. Each stop on the tour features a different lineup, creating a unique and delightful experience for audiences at every show. “I love the people I perform with. I’m their colleague, but I’m also their fan,” he passionately states.
