The name Amy Schumer has been in the news a lot recently. She is comedic, doesn't have a filter, and always says what is on her mind. She is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in and has a great wit. I love her, and I think you should, too.
1. She keeps it real
Amy is unapologetically funny. She talks about anything from sex to body image and doesn't hold back. Being honest and raw makes her the comedian she is. She speaks her mind even if it has to be censored.
“My comedy is unapologetic and fearless. Like, sometimes you’ll wind up having condomless sex with someone that you probably shouldn’t. I’m interested in sharing that part of myself unapologetically so that other people will hopefully feel better.”
2. She is hilarious
Inside Amy Schumer always produces a laugh. She recently had an interview with Jimmy Fallon and told him about the time she sexted Katie Couric's husband. Jimmy Fallon was laughing so hard he could not breathe. She keeps the laughs coming on and off the stage.
“I went home with this French guy because he said something adorable like, ‘I have an apartment.'”
3. She is bold
She is a proud feminist and brings attention to what is wrong with society. She has made two videos on being a covergirl and makeup which take a comedic spin on real issues. While doing it in a funny way, she brings attention to important issues and double standards within society. Amy is not afraid to speak up for what is wrong and put her opinions and voice out there.
“I am a woman with thoughts and questions and shit to say."4. She is smart
She has her own show on Comedy Central titled Inside Amy Schumer, in which she stars, creates, writes and is the executive producer. Trainwreck made a whooping 30 million opening weekend, which she wrote and starred in. She knows her comedy and how to write it. This makes her so successful.
"Ooh, I like Tom's sweater. Does he teach computer in a church basement?"
She is an icon in the media for young girls and teens. Amy does not aspire to be stick thin or be photoshopped into someone she is not. She is a real, strong woman who loves herself. She has body positivity which shows through her comedy and makes her a mogul and a voice for the needed change in society.
“I feel very comfortable in my own skin. When someone makes jokes about me being heavy, it makes me mad. It’s not true. I’m right where I should be.”6. She cares about current events
Amy Schumer sheds a tear after talking about the shooting that occurred.
After a recent shooting took place at the viewing of one of her movies, she spoke out about gun control. She said she wants to push for stronger gun laws and more funding for mental illness. As soon as the shooting happened, Amy was quick to act and make sure people knew how she felt on the subject.
"The fact that this happened – you want to act. I wanted to go down there and do whatever I could, this was in the works. I am so happy he invited me to be a part of it,"7. She can make fun of herself
Being a celebrity, she is always subject to the millions of paparazzi. In this screen cap, she is referring to how she grabbed a pastry before working out but took a funny spin on it. Instead of being enraged, she just rolled it off her shoulders and made a joke out of herself. She shows it is okay for people to be okay with who they are and make fun of themselves.
“I will speak and share and f*ck and love and I will never apologize to the frightened millions who resent that they never had it in them to do it. I stand here and I am amazing, for you. Not because of you. I am not who I sleep with. I am not my weight. I am not my mother. I am myself. And I am all of you, and I thank you.”
Amy Schumer is someone to watch; she is funny and original. With her fame, she is a voice that can make many changes to our current broken society. I am excited to see what she will do and have some laughs along the ride. All hail Queen Amy 👑
