She’s funny, blunt and fearless.
Though Amy Schumer has been around since 2004 after finishing fourth on the talent show The Last Comic Standing, she has been taking 2015 by storm. This year, her Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer premiered its third season, she appeared in a front cover feature on Entertainment Weekly clad in nothing but liquor bottles, and she snagged a gig hosting this year’s MTV Movie Awards and a role in July’s Trainwreck.
If you need more to be convinced, here are three reasons why you should be paying attention to Amy Schumer.
Her Show Is Raw & Hilarious
The sketches on Inside Amy Schumer are all written by her and come straight from her provocative yet hilarious mind. She doesn’t shy away from talking about sex and relationships or poking fun at herself. We always appreciate a woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind—even when it comes to taboo topics.
She Doesn’t Care About The Haters
Critics have said she’s not funny and have even gone as far as criticizing her appearance, calling her chubby and not attractive enough to be the lead in movies. When someone tried to bring her down, she responded in the best way ever.
She’s Not Afraid To Be Herself
Her speech on self-confidence proves she’s the perfect feminist icon and perfect role model for our generation.
