OH
Mike Epps is what I call "movie funny". He's not "stand-up funny" to me.


A solid comedian should be able to make you laugh as hard on stage as they do on screen.


The only special of his that I watched was sometime between 2008 and 2010 when it had recently come out during the time. Didn't laugh once, cut it off after about 20 mins.


Same thing with Martin Lawrence. As a kid I thought he was hilarious in "Big Momma's House", so I decided to watch an old special of his from the late nineties on YouTube back in 2013 out of curiosity.

After roughly 15 minutes of watching him run around and scream in a gaudy, neon-colored shirt, I literally cringed and closed the tab.

I mean I LITERALLY looked at the screen like ":hhh:"


shyt was terrible

The Other A
I've been to one of his shows live on his tour.. He was emcee of about 5 other comedians.. I agree, I don't think he's funny telling jokes for an hour but he's hilarious as an emcee where he just comes up for 5 mins, fukks with the crowd then brings out the next comedian.. That's where you can see he's really talented working an audience..

Was a drunk pawg in the front row kept talking shot to him, he had everybody dying clowning her until security came escorted her dumb ass out

There's this thing called supply and demand. He sells tickets because people want to see him

Never seen a special but he's a funny comedic actor so that's probably why he will always have a fanbase that will go to his shows.

I feel this way with Marlon Wayans. He is not a funny stand up IMO but he has a loyal fanbase from his movies so they will support.


I've always liked Mike Epps, I'd definitely support him 💯 :manny:





Most importantly, he's a black man getting money:salute:

He's never been funny on stage to me. Funny in films, mediocre at best when performing a routine.


The only joke if u put a gun to my head that I can recite. It’s the Michael Jackson going to prison and running it. thats a cheat code. MJ doing gangster shyt will forever not be funny


Chris Tucker still has my favorite. :dead:
