During a recent conversation, Chico Bean highlighted how Epps’ “We Them Ones” Comedy Tour is more than just a lineup of laughs—it’s a platform. Headlined by Epps, the tour is creating real opportunities for up-and-coming comedians to perform in front of larger audiences and expand their reach.

“For a comedian of Mike Epps’ stature to bring younger comics along, that’s rare,” Bean noted, emphasizing how impactful that kind of exposure can be in an industry where opportunities are often limited.

The tour features a dynamic mix of comedic voices, including Karlous Miller, DC Young Fly, Tony Roberts, and Mojo Brookzz. Together, they represent multiple generations and styles of comedy, giving audiences a well-rounded entertainment experience.
