Mike Epps: Indiana Mike

This really is one of the worst stand ups . I have seen introduction anyone laughing at himself to try to let the crowd know when it funny. I like Mike Epps in movies and fine him funny. But I don't know how he gets away with an hour of saying names.

Mike Epps: Indiana Mike (2022) is a comedy special my wife and I recently watched on Netflix. Unfortunately we had seen Mike Epps on tour about 4-5 months ago in DC and heard a lot of this material already. There were a few new segments in this from the tour, but not many. I will say a lot of his COVID material was good. The Tik Tok and kids story was "real life." The running into Bill Cosby segment was funny and the R Kelly joke was hilarious. Overall I would say this isn't his best work but is worth a viewing. I would score this a solid 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

I've seen 100+ stand up shows and this one is definitely in the top 10 worst ever. His earlier shows are there as well. I keep wathching his specials hoping that I will at least once see why did he become a star. I just can't get it.

His material is virtually nonexistent. He just says n-word 10 thousand times, mentions relevant people from Indiana and keeps saying how Indiana is awesome and these are the only times he gets any reaction from the crowd. There are no jokes whatsoever. No bits to speak of. Nothing that would even make me chuckle.

It made him chuckle, though, throughout the entire special. He laughed more at his "material" than anyone in the crowd. It's like he wasn't even trying. The fact that he has any amount of star power is baffling.

I've been to open mics that were way funnier.

I really like him as a person, but he's incredibly boring at stand up. It also doesn't seem like his comedy has evolved- or ever will. Even as a host he gets boring.

Mike Epps is a funny stand up. He is charming and likable in this stand up show from his birthplace, Indianapolis. This is adult humor. He is off color, but he is funny. A lot of humor is about relationships- casual or serious. He is also NOT politically correct, but he is funny. I like the physical aspects of his comedy as well as the words. The crowd adores him, and with good reason. A lot of social commentary. I like this a lot.
