Mike Epps: Indiana Mike

The man got paid either way.

I like Mike Epps he's funny at times.. it seemed like he made up the whole show while on stage nothing planned or written just thinking off the top of his head and when a joke did land he just ran it again to get more laughs. I felt uncomfortable watching the struggle from one joke to the next.

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.

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.

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.

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.
