Why we can’t get enough of Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer’s mainstream appeal is about to be tested with her feature debut, “Trainwreck”. Ahead of her red carpet appearance in Dublin this week, the comedian gives Melena Ryzik some interview time.

Almost as soon as she started her Comedy Central series, the comedian Amy Schumer thought up a sketch: What if there was a single day on which an ageing actress’s desirability evaporates?

“We just liked the idea that there’s this calendar: This is it, you’re not ... lust-worthy anymore,” Schumer says, using bluer language, the kind she has become known for on the show, Inside Amy Schumer.
