Mike Epps: Indiana Mike

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.

Zero comedy, you're watching a hype man from any random show ever, wasting time.

Listing people in the audience and asking "where they at" for 20 minutes of a 50 minute show isn't a comedy special.

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.

How on earth is this on Netflix? It's so bad, I'm not sure it even qualifies as a stand up.

It's not funny, just stupid stuff coming out of his mouth, there's nothing good or remotely funny. I'm not sure what the audience was laughing at even, a total disaster.

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.
