I fell in love with Amy Schumer and her comedy the first time I saw her. She first started doing stand-up comedy at the Gotham Comedy Club in 2004. In 2007 she recorded a Live at Gotham episode for Comedy Central and later appeared on Last Comic Standing.

“Last Comic was totally fun. I had a great time because there was no pressure on me; I had been doing stand-up around two years. I wasn’t supposed to do well. So every time I advanced it was a happy surprise. I kept it honest on the show and it served me well.”

Amy has one sister, Kimberly who is a comedy writer and producer, and one brother Jason who is a musician in Chicago. She was raised in the upper east side of Manhattan and was raised Jewish by her parents Sandra and Corgon Schumer.

Her first short film was in 2006 called Sense Memory directed by Jackson Waite. She has also been in Sleepwalk With Me, Price Check and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Check out her latest movie Trainwreck that came out July 17th, 2015.

Trainwreck is an American romantic comedy that follows the life of Amy, a party girl who likes to drink too much, smokes weed and sleeps around all while dating a buff guy names Steven.
