AMY SCHUMER

Mentor Bio

As one of the funniest, freshest faces on television, Amy Schumer is on the rise in the world of comedy with her blend of honesty and unapologetic sense of humor. She made her network debut in 2007 on NBC's "Last Comic Standing."

Schumer is the creator, star, writer and executive producer of "Inside Amy Schumer," the popular Comedy Central television series, which premiered in April 2013 to the network's highest season premiere ratings of the year. Schumer's provocative and hilariously wicked mind is on full display as she explores topics revolving around sex, relationships and life through a series of scripted vignettes, stand-up comedy and man-on-the-street interviews. The show returned for a second season on April 1.

This summer, Schumer begins production on Universal's "Trainwreck," which she wrote and will star in. Judd Apatow will produce and direct the feature film, scheduled to be released in July 2015.

Schumer's hit one-hour stand-up special, "Mostly Sex Stuff," became Comedy Central's second-highest rated special in 2012. She was also one of the featured comedians on Comedy Central's "Roast of Roseanne," which followed her memorable and quotable performance on the 2011 "Roast of Charlie Sheen."

She was recently seen in such critically acclaimed series as FX's "Louie" and HBO's "Girls." Previously, Schumer had a recurring role on the third season of Adult Swim's "Delocated" and guest starred in the latest season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

On the big screen, Schumer filmed the feature "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World,"

starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, as well as "Price Check," an independent feature opposite Parker Posey, which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

Her album "Cutting" placed in the top five of the Billboard Charts and has been included on multiple best comedy albums of the year awards' lists.

After making her network debut in 2007 as a contestant on NBC's "Last Comic Standing," Schumer co-starred on "30 Rock" and received her own Comedy Central Presents special.

She co-hosted "Hoppus on Music" with Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 on Fuse and made her fifth appearance at the Montreal Comedy Festival this summer.

Schumer is a founding member of The Collective, a New York-based theater company, and a graduate of The William Esper Studio, where she studied for three years.
