Mike Epps got his start in comedy when he entered a stand-up comedy contest in an Indiana club.  His success at the club prompted him to move to Atlanta and perform at the Comedy Act Theater.  Soon after his stay in Atlanta, he made the move to New York and his career took off. 

Epps has been seen on the Def Jam Comedy Tour as well as in two of HBO's Def Comedy Jam broadcasts.  He then got his start in the film industry.  Some of Epps credits include appearances in "Friday," "Next Friday," "Dr. Dolittle 2," and "How High."
