Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer is the creator, star, writer and executive producer of the Primetime Emmy Award-nominated Inside Amy Schumer, the popular Comedy Central television series, which premiered in April 2013 to the network's highest season premiere ratings of the year. Schumer's provocative and hilariously wicked mind is on full display as she explores topics revolving around sex, relationships and the general clusterf*ck that is life through a series of scripted vignettes, stand-up comedy and man-on-the-street interviews.

Schumer's hit one-hour stand-up special, Amy Schumer: Mostly Sex Stuff, became Comedy Central's second-highest rated special of 2012. She was also one of the featured comedians on Comedy Central's Roast of Roseanne, which followed her memorable and quotable performance on the 2011 Roast of Charlie Sheen.

She was seen in such critically acclaimed series as FX's Louie and HBO's Girls. Previously, Schumer had a recurring role on the third season of Adult Swim's Delocated and guest-starred on the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

On the big screen, Schumer was seen in the feature Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, which starred Steve Carell and Keira Knightley; and the independent feature Price Check, opposite Parker Posey, which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

Schumer's 2012 comedy album "Cutting" placed in the top five on the Billboard charts and has been included on multiple best comedy albums of the year awards' lists.
The comic made her network debut in 2007 when she starred on NBC's Last Comic Standing. She soon after co-starred on 30 Rock and received her own Comedy Central Presents special.

Schumer co-hosted Hoppus on Music, with Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, on Fuse and made her fifth appearance at Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival in summer 2014.

Schumer is a founding member of The Collective, a New York-based theater company, and a graduate of The William Esper Studio, where she studied for three years.
