Some people like Mike Epps because of his stand-up routines. Others find his goofy persona humorous. But it’s how the comedian and actor embraces his simple, guy-from-Indiana character and talks about things that make you say, “That’s so silly.” Epps, who hit the scene as part of the Def Comedy Jam tour in the ’90s, has parlayed his simple guy character into an extensive film career. If it ain’t broke … — The Mike Epps and Friends tour features established and up-and-coming comedians. The Chicago lineup includes Sheryl Underwood, who is a little more complex than Epps. 8 p.m. Saturday at UIC Pavilion, 525 S. Racine Ave.; $38.50-$74; 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com
