Amy Schumer is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actress and producer. She is the creator, co-producer, co-writer and star of the sketch comedy series, “Inside Amy Schumer”, which debuted on Comedy Central in 2013. She has received a Peabody Award and was nominated for five Primetime awards for her work on the series, winning for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series in 2015. That year Amy was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 influential people and was named to Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People List. Amy explains her comedy by saying “I like tackling the stuff nobody else talks about, like the darkest, most serious thing about yourself. I talk about life and sex and personal stories and stuff everybody can relate to, and some can’t.” Schumer has received much praise for the subversive feminism of her comedy, and for addressing various social issues through comedy. Brilliant, irreverent, edgy, controversial comedy at its best.
