About Crystal
"Handing award-winning comedian Crystal Powell a mic is like lighting a fuse under a powder keg. The results are explosive! Born and raised in rural Texas towns, Crystal proudly embraces her roots as a down-home girl with a heart as big as her dreams. Her talents have taken her far from small-town life, however, to venues across the country. When she hits the stage, she mixes relatable everyday situations with personal anecdotes and trending topics that send her crowds into fits of laughter.
Crystal has packed venues nationwide, performing at L.A’s Laugh Factory, the San Diego Civic Center, and the Los Angeles, Ontario, Palm Beach, Arlington and Houston Improv Comedy Clubs, to name a few. She has appeared alongside comedic powerhouses such as Mike Epps, Rodney Perry, Damon Williams, and Rudy Rush, and can hold her own in any arena. Crystal won the 2015 i10 Media “Influential Entertainer’s Award,” the Houston Improv comedy “Producer’s Award” and was named one of “Houston’s All-Stars of Comedy.” She also hosted a four-day event in honor of National Humor Month that made citywide headlines in Houston. In 2017, Crystal was chosen by the Super Bowl committee as the only comedian to perform for the crowds during Super Bowl Live.
The Prairie View A&M University graduate earned the moniker triple threat by adding actor and singer to her dossier. She is an active SAG/AFTRA member, snagging roles in the film “Ball Don’t Lie” featuring Nick Cannon, Ludacris and Rosanna Arquette, and making a guest appearance on the Emmy-nominated “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show. She has been interviewed on major network affiliates for FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, The CW, and more. In 2016, she was chosen from hundreds to represent one of the best comics around the country for Kevin Hart’s nationally syndicated hit TV show, “Hart of the City,” which debuted on Comedy Central.
