During the early 2000s, she ventured into comedy before she appeared on the fifth season of
Last Comic Standing, the NBC reality competition series. She found the show to be great fun. There wasn’t any pressure on her, as she’d only been doing stand up comedy for two years and wasn’t supposed to do that well. Every time she advanced it was a massive surprise. She kept things honest on the show and it served her well.
She is the creator, co-writer, co-producer, and star of
Inside Amy Schumer which ran from 2013 until 2016 on Comedy Central. She received a Peabody Award and won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2015 for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series, and was nominated for four additional Emmys.

The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo is Amy’s uproariously funny and refreshingly candid collection of extremely personal and observational essays.
In this book, she mines her past stories about her teen years, her relationships, family, and sex and she shares the experiences which have shaped who she is: a woman with the bravery to bare her soul and stand up for what she believes in as she makes us all laugh.
Ranging from the romantic to the raucous, the harrowing to the heartfelt, this universally appealing and highly appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with all your best friends. Such a fun and unforgettable adventure that you wish would last forever. Whether she is experiencing some lust-at-first-sight as she’s in airport security line, sharing her views on marriage and love, admitting to being an introvert, or learning her cross-fit instructor’s secret bad habit, she proves to be a brave, big hearted, and thoughtful storyteller that’ll have you nodding your head in recognition, sobbing uncontrollably, and laughing out loud.
