I AM A HUGE FAN OF MIKE EPPS. I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF HIS STAND UPS. BEFORE HIS DEBUT IN FRIDAY HE DID A SHOW HERE IN ST. LOUIS THAT WAS SO HILARIOUS. THE NEXT TIME I SEEN HIM IT WAS BEYOND HILARIOUS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR.

This is one of the funniest shows Ive seen. His standup is so on-topic, so real, so very honest that the laughter I found myself sharing with friends was that "its funny because its true" not "funny like Elmer Fudd" humor. He discusses without apology or any attempt to hide or disguise the very real racist elements in our society, "white people, loan a brother something, will you?" Is a hysterical bit, illustrating not only the white guilt/cant say no, cant collect on outstanding debts issue, but he also hits on what its like if you are a brother and have loaned another black man something - in this case money. He had me in tears, as this humor - as all good humor does - has its basis in reality. My own experiences with these issues struck all to close to home. And the disenfranchisement of black america, the complete and utter disregard of this entire segment of our nation, is delt with in the same direct way. I guess if you dont find the image of Condi Rice lap dancing for GW Bush while the Pentagon is attacked, the image of GW snorting coke off Condi's body, and his reaction, "what! what *TIME* did they do it? When did they do it? We still had two hours!" was hysterical. Or "George Bush is a Pimp. He says, "I dont care if you like me, or voted for me, I am in charge and you will do what I say!" NOW THAT is Pimp talking!"
I could go on. Best I dont, as I cant possibly do it justice. If you are young, democrat, not a republican, have a sense of humor, and find Chris Rock, Robin Williams, David Cross, and Eddie Griffith etc funny, I cant imagine you not liking this.

I'm pretty much the sort of person who laughs at pretty much anything, but I am literally clenching my sides everytime I watch the DVD. I even play the CD version when I'm driving in the car!!!!!!!

Ok i thought this dvd would be really funny ,but i was really wrong it was like mike was looking for jokes to say... Not his best work ...stick to acting.

Dude this is funny as hell. Although the middle of the dvd kinda lulls, it finishes pretty good. Impressions of Judge Joe Brown and Montel Williams are dead on, and talking about James Brown and someone stealing Michael Jackson's giraffe are pretty funny

Overall I can say that this was funny. Mike Epps had his moments where you can tell he was trying to think of something to say so he would bust out with something he said in one his movie roles, but he did say some funny junk and this was my first time seeing him do standup so I feel he did rather well. He knows how to keep his crowds attention even if he has to say something stupid and off the wall.

I like Mike Epps, in every movie I've seen him in he does a good job, BUT this dvd has nothing funny to it, he uses a lot of material from his movie parts that worked fine then but don't come across in a stand up bit. So overall if you want something funny, this aint it.

For those who think this man is not intelligent; the joke is on you. Mike Epps is definitely the best comic out today. I watched his routine closely several times. I caught him break character once or twice and he recovered nicely. His genius is that he is believable as the court jester. Would you call Gilbert Gotfried ignorant? How about Frank Fountaine as crazy gougenheim on the old Jackie Gleason show? The brother has honed his craft well.

Mike Epps is on of my favorite comedienns, but this was TERRIBLE

I think he should stick to doing comedy movies.. Standup is not for everybody

I love mike, But i wouldnt watch this again for free

If you love Mike Epps, you will love the DVD! He's funny.
