Mike Epps Signs With Independent Artist Group for Representation (ESCLUSIVE)

Comedian and actor Mike Epps has signed with Independent Artist Group (IAG) for representation of his production company Indiana 1 Productions, as well as all other agency areas. 

The signing comes on the heels of Epps’ “We Them One’s Comedy Tour,” which sold out several arenas during its run. His standup comedy special “Delusional” premiered on Netflix this January and led to the streaming platform signing Epps for an additional two standup specials.

Epps has previously starred in comedies such as the “Friday” franchise, “The Hangover,” “Sparkle,” “Girls Trip” and “Dolemite is My Name.” The comedian also executive produced and acted opposite Wanda Sykes in Netflix’s “The Upshaws,” which ended its seven-season run earlier this year. 

Behind the camera, Epps founded production company Indiana 1 Productions, which focuses on developing original film, television and comedy content. He’s produced several projects, including Hulu’s 2025 series “Good American Family,” starring Ellen Pompeo. 

IAG has represented Epps’ live touring business and will now expand to film, television, comedy, literary, endorsements and other entertainment projects. 

“Mike has been an important part of the IAG family for years, and we’ve watched firsthand how he’s continued to evolve into one of entertainment’s most dynamic and enduring talents,” said Jim Osborne, the CEO of IAG, in a statement. “From his incredible success on stage to his work as an actor, producer and entrepreneur, Mike has built an exceptional brand.”

Epps added, “I have trusted the IAG team with my touring business for a long time, and they’ve always delivered. Expanding our relationship across the board felt like the right move. I’m excited about what’s next and looking forward to building even bigger things together.”
