CHANDLER, AZ — Mike Epps is coming to the Valley! The comedian, actor will have two shows at Wild Horse Pass in Chandler. The Valley stop will bring the laughs and will be taping for Epps’ new Netflix Comedy Special!
“The audience that's coming to see this show is going to see themselves on Netflix. I'm shooting my Netflix, one-hour comedy special right here,” said Epps to ABC15 in an interview.
Epps has been in this industry for decades and says there’s no denying his comedic content has evolved along with his personal journey.
“It's evolved a lot. You know, [ I’ve gone through] a couple of marriages, my kids are older now. So, my material is different. You know, over the years… your material grows, and it changes. So, I think I've been involved a lot in the comedy business and in life.”
So, what can we expect at his show this Friday?
“This weekend, you're [going] get a sneak peek…. I'm [going to] be talking about my kids. My relationships, Donald Trump, your mama, everybody,” said Epps.
