I'm crazy about comedy and I live for a good comedy show. I have a true affinity for brilliant comedians and have been overwhelmed with the level of talent amongst the relevant female comedians of today.
Today's blog post is dedicated to the brilliant talents of one Miss Amy Schumer, whose brand new show 'Inside Amy Schumer', premiered this past Tuesday (April 30) evening.
According to the Leading Online News Magazine, Wikipedia, here's a little bio on Amy:
"Amy Beth Schumer (born June 1, 1981) is an American stand-up comedienne, actress, and writer. She placed fourth on the fifth season of NBC's Last Comic Standing, and she placed second on Comedy Central's Reality Bites Back. In 2012, she held a recurring role on the Adult Swim series Delocated. She is the star of the new comedy series Inside Amy Schumer, which premiered on Comedy Central on April 30, 2013."
That tells enough of her back story, but I truly fell in love with Amy through her work at the Comedy Central Friar-club Roasts.
Below is a clip from the Comedy Central 'Roast of Charlie Sheen':
All I can say is: Bitch is F-U-N-N-Y funny. Period.
No matter what Amy does, she has me laughing. Her brand of humor is equally self-deprecating and obscene. My favorite.
For example:
And here's another gem:
The pictures above should illustrate further how funny Amy is.
Here's an excerpt from a review of the show.
The HollywoodReporter.com reports:
"The genuinely funny and stylish series uses stand-up and sketch comedy to lampoon contemporary love and sex."Comedy Central's series Inside Amy Schumer is a mix of traditional stand-up comedy, sketches and on-the-street interviews that in its best moments produces genuine laughs."
"The opening vignette, a play on the infamous "2 Girls 1 Cup" scat porn video, may turn some viewers off, but it's a good litmus test for whether folks will want to hang on, as Schumer never backs down from discussing the weird, crass and graphic side of sexuality."
"In her best sketches, the focus is on female versus male perception (in one, after a one-night stand, Amy's character goes looking for wedding cake, while the guy answers her phone call with "who is this?") It sounds familiar and a little derivative, but Schumer is likable with great timing, and the sketches work."Inside Amy Schumer will resonate mostly with female viewers, but there are plenty of things for men to get from it -- and learn from it -- too (like women's general "meh" response to receiving dick pics). "I don't really like them," Schumer says to the model, who replies, "but they're hilarious." "Well, right, that's the problem," Schumer says with a laugh. In its scripted segments, the series is stylishly produced, and its wit is dry while its tone is bubbly. Not every segment is a hit, but the ones that are deserve to be quoted, repeated and discussed."
That's my girl. If you're not a fan already, become one.
Below is a clip from her recent Comedy Central Stand-Up performance 'Mostly Sex Stuff":
"But in every group of girlfriends, there's always like, one, that's the sluttiest. You know?? If you don't have that friend, it's probably you. Let's be real."
She kills me.
In real life, Amy is currently dating the hilarious Anthony Jesselnik. My favorite joke that referenced their relationship was over this past winter:
"This past Christmas, I told my girlfriend for months in advance that all I wanted was an Xbox. That's it. Beginning and end of list, Xbox. You know what she got me? A homemade frame with a picture of us from our first date together. Which was fine. Because I got her an Xbox." - Anthony Jeselnik.
Amazing. I must have re-posted that 5 times during the holidays.
So, if you haven't already, check out Amy Schumer and her new show 'Inside Comedy Central', Tuesdays at 10:30 PM.
