About Mike Epps

Epps is generating an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers for being not only one of the funniest comic actors in town, but also for his burgeoning dramatic talent. He can be seen in the fifth season of the Netflix comedy “The UpShaws” which he stars in and produces. The show is set in his hometown of Indiana about a working class family. It has been nominated for seven 2024 NAACP Image Awards with Epps winning for “Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series.” The show was also nominated for two People’s Choice Awards nominations.

Epps can also be seen in the Amazon Prime show “I am a Virgo” which premiered at the SXSW festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award and a Gotham Award. In February 2024 his seventh stand up special “Ready to Sell Out” premiered on Netflix with the New York Times calling him “unquestionably a star.” He can currently be seen in the Amazon MGM comedy “The Underdoggs” which debuted in homes in more than 240 countries and territories around the globe. He stars alongside star and director Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, and Tika Sumpter.

He is also currently on a national stand up tour and since 2000, has steadily climbed his way up the stand-up comedy ranks when he was recognized by a national audience in 1995 for appearing on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam (which, years later, he would go on to host). During a performance at LA’s Comedy Store, Epps caught the attention of Ice Cube. This led to the first of three feature films they would do together: the cult hits “Next Friday,” "Friday after Next," and “All About the Benjamins.”

Other features include the Hangover franchise, “Girls Trip” “Faster,” “Hancock,” “Lottery Ticket,” “Next Day Air,” “Roll Bounce,” “The Fighting Temptations”, the Resident Evil franchise, “Bait”, “How High,” “Dr.Dolittle 2”, "Talk to Me", and "Guess Who?"

Epps has been seen in over 40 cities and three continents doing standup.
