Comedian Mike Epps and his friends will bring the laughs to DeVos
Performance Hall on Saturday, September 25th at 8:00 PM.

Mike Epps has generated an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers and within
the entertainment industry for being one of the funniest comic actors to emerge into the
Hollywood scene as of late.  He can currently be seen starring in his own one-hour
standup special  “Mike Epps: Under-rated and Never Faded” airing on Comedy Central
and Showtime, and is set to host the BET Hip Hop Awards this fall.

In 2009, Epps hosted the BET Hip Hop Awards and released his first comedy rap album called
“Funny Bidness: Da Album.”  The album features Snoop Dogg, Kid Rock and Slim Thug, to
name a few.   That year also marked the release of his comedy DVD “Funny Bidness.”  Epps also
starred opposite Mos Def and Donald Faison in the dark comedy, “Next Day Air,” from Summit
Entertainment.  He also made a hilarious cameo in the 2009 mega-hit “The Hangover.”

Epps has appeared in many feature films, including “Next Friday,” “Guess Who” and “The
Fighting Temptations.”  Epps will be seen this fall in the Warner Bros. film “Lottery Ticket,” also
starring Ice Cube, Bow Wow and Brandon T. Jackson.  Also look for him next year in the CBS
Films action-thriller “Faster” starring Dwayne Johnson.
