Synopsis
Come inside for an intimate look into the mind of comedian Amy Schumer in Comedy Central's Inside Amy Schumer in which - through a series of scripted vignettes, stand-up comedy and man-on-the-street interviews - Schumer explores topics revolving around sex, relationships, and the general clusterf*ck that is life.
Schumer riffs on everything from 'sexting' to roasting a dying 12-year-old to envisioning a female version of Hooters.
In the premiere episode, Schumer attends a casting session for the internet video 2 Girls, One Cup, lets her imagination run wild after a one night stand and endures a slightly less-than-terrifying plane flight.
