The text won't appear - pygame

Question

So I've asked this question before, but this time I did not make the same mistake of calling the text loop before making the screen blue.

def win1():
    print('Level 1 completed')
    global levelcount, var1, var2, clr, score, alive
    myfont = pygame.font.SysFont('Comic Sans MS', 100)
    textsurface = myfont.render('Level 1 completed', True, (0, 0, 0))
    screen.blit(textsurface,(0,0))
    for sprite in enemies:
        sprite.kill()
    pygame.time.wait(2800)
    levelcount = 2
    var1 = 700
    var2 = 900
    clr = (10, 85, 135)
    myfont = pygame.font.SysFont('Comic Sans MS', 100)
    textsurface = myfont.render('Level 2', True, (0, 0, 0))
    screen.blit(textsurface,(0,0))
    alive = True
    score = 0

That code is supposed to make it say "Level 1 completed", but it doesn't. Here is where I call it:

alive = True
while alive:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        print(event)
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            alive = False
        elif event.type == ADDENEMY:
            new_opponent = random.choice([Enemy(), Bomb(), Blimp()])
            enemies.add(new_opponent)
            all_sprites.add(new_opponent)

    pressed_keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
    player.update(pressed_keys)

    enemies.update()

    screen.fill(clr)

    for entity in all_sprites:
        screen.blit(entity.surf, entity.rect)

    if pygame.sprite.spritecollideany(player, enemies):
        player.kill()
        alive = False
        death()

    if levelcount == 1: #I call it here
        if score > 100:
            alive = False
            win1()
    if levelcount == 2: #this is for if you beat level 2
        if score > 100:
            alive = False
            win2()

    screen.blit(player.surf, player.rect)

    pygame.display.flip()

    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

I have a death part that makes it say "you died" and it works, but I used almost the same code from it for the win part.

You have to update the display by pygame.display.flip() and to handle the events by pygame.event.pump() before pygame.time.wait(2800):

def win1():
    # [...]

    pygame.display.flip()
    pygame.event.pump()
    pygame.time.wait(2800)

    # [...]

The changes made to the display Ssurface will only be visible if the display is updated using either either pygame.display.update() or pygame.display.flip().
On some systems it is necessary to handle the event by either pygame.event.pump() or pygame.event.get() in order to handle the redraw of the display. Handling the events ensures the program can internally interact with the rest of the operating system.
