Before starring in Def Comedy Jam and Showtime at the Apollo, there was Indianapolis. And not the good part. Mike Epps is one of America's favorite and funniest people, but the path to fame was paved with opportunities to mess it up. And mess it up he did. Growing up in ?Naptown??what people who live there really call rough-around-the-edges Indianapolis?Epps found himself forced to hustle from an early age. Despite his family's best efforts, Epps was drawn to a life of crime, but as he quickly discovered, stealing and dealing didn't really fit his sweet sensibilities. Not to mention he wasn't very good at it?take, for example, the day he had to call the cops on himself when a dog wouldn't let him leave a house he was burgling. After several arrests and more than a few months in jail, Epps finally realized that he was an unsuccessful thug, and instead turned to the next most obvious career path: stand-up comedy. Heading first to New York, then to venues all over the country, and finally to Hollywood, Mike Epps carved out a unique place in American comedy, combining hysterical tales of his family and friends with a mordant take on life in the Naptowns of America. Comedy saved Mike Epps, and here he reveals exactly how he finally grew up and got out, barely. And when describing how he survived when so many of his friends didn't, Epps makes clear what he's thankful for and sorry about.
