Sat Mar 9
7 pm
Amy Schumer at The Pabst Theater
Amy Schumer’s blend of wholesome, girl-next-door good looks and edgy comedy has earned her a rapid rise in the comedy world. Her comedy embraces a friendly, conversational tone that makes it all the more shocking—and funny—when she suddenly veers into a taboo area or attacks a member of her audience before skillfully segueing back into more relaxed, easygoing material. Schumer smartly exploits the contrast between her mock-ditsy persona and the exquisitely worded nastiness of her material on her debut album, Cutting—No. 9 on The A.V. Club’s list of the best comedy albums of 2011—which would ring false if not so finely crafted. A one-hour Comedy Central special, Mostly Sex Stuff, was the second-highest rated special for the network in 2012, and a full-blown series, Inside Amy Schumer, is due this April.
