Comedian, actor and producer Mike Epps is bringing his talent and a Netflix crew to Arizona.

Epps is set to perform three shows at the Wild Horse Pass casino resort on the Gila River Indian Community south of Phoenix near Chandler. He is scheduled to perform two shows on Friday, Sept. 29: one at 7 and the other at 10 p.m. He's also scheduled to perform at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30. There will be a live taping of his new Netflix comedy special at both shows on Friday.

He is best known for his roles in “Next Friday” and its sequel “Friday After Next” as Day-Day Jones. Epps has also starred in “The Hangover” and “The Hangover Part III” as antagonist Black Doug.

Epps’ passion for comedy was encouraged by his family and stemmed from stand-up gigs as a teenager and a job at the Comedy Act Theater in Atlanta, according to Ticketmaster.

Here’s how you can attend the shows and maybe end up on Netflix.
