Amy Schumer’s blend of wholesome, girl-next-door looks and edgy comedy has earned her a rapid rise in the comedy world. She shot to the forefront of the comedy scene as the stand out of Comedy Central’s Roast of Charlie Sheen. She has since performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, appeared on The Howard Stern Show, The View, and was featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and as Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch this past year.
She recurred on this season’s Delocated on Adult Swim and guest starred in the latest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. This year she filmed the feature Seeking a Friend for the End of the World starring Steve Carrell and Kiera Knightley and Price Check, an independent feature opposite Parker Posey which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Her album Cutting, which in it’s opening week placed in the top 5 of the Billboard Charts, has been included on multiple Best Comedy Albums of the Year awards’ lists. She’s also written articles for Cosmo Magazine to enormous reader response.
Amy made her network debut in 2007 on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and soon after co-starred on 30 Rock and had her own Comedy Central Presents special. She co-hosted Hoppus on Music with Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 on Fuse and this summer made her third appearance at the Montreal Comedy Festival.
