In her rise to becoming one of the pre-eminent stand-ups in the country, 34-year-old, Amy Schumer has emerged as one of the sharpest, wittiest commentators on gender in America. Her humor — satirical, raunchy, absurdist — is built on a fresh and on-point feminism, alert to both the injustices of sexism and the helpless farce of the sexes.
She’s turned her Peabody-winning Comedy Central show, “Inside Amy Schumer,” into a spinning collider of gender roles, firing out weekly, instantly viral parodies of men and women, in bed and on screens.
