From a young age Epps showed his comedic skills, being the class clown and deciding as a teen to enter his first stand-up contest in Indiana. After the success in his hometown, Epps moved on to Atlanta and made a name for himself at the Comedy Act Theatre before moving to New York to pursue a serious career in the industry.


The humorist has been working his way up the ranks of the stand-up comedy and entertainment industries since. In 1995, the world was introduced to Epps during the Def Comedy Jam tour and two subsequent HBO specials of the same name. He became a household name thanks to stints on Comedy Central and performances on the big screen in movies such as "Roll Bounce," "The Honeymooners" and two of the "Resident Evil" series of movies. Epps currently hosts HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," continues to act and successfully tours the U.S.


Funnyman Lavell Crawford, finalist in season five of NBC's "Last Comic Standing," joins Epps on this tour. Crawford has appeared on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" and headlined Laffapalooza, America's longest-running annual urban comedy festival.
