"Inside Amy Schumer" is the new series featuring Schumer’s provocative and hilariously wicked mind, 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.
"Inside Amy Schumer" premieres Tuesday, April 30 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL with an exclusive sneak peek of the series to be screened at select live shows during the tour. "Inside Amy Schumer" is executive produced by Schumer, Daniel Powell and Jessi Klein.
Schumer was recently featured as one of Variety's “Top Ten Comics to Watch” and her hit one-hour special, titled "Amy Schumer: Mostly Sex Stuff," aired on COMEDY CENTRAL and was one of the highest-rated and most-watched stand-up specials in 2012 with over 1.6 million total viewers watching the premiere. In 2011, she released her first album "Cutting" on COMEDY CENTRAL Records. This year Schumer can be seen on the HBO hit series "Girls," and past television and film credits include Adult Swim's "Delocated" and "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley and opposite Parker Posey in "Price Check."
