CLEVELAND, Ohio - Despite being one of the busiest comedians in the world right now, Amy Schumer flew in Tuesday night for her show at the State Theatre in Playhouse Square.
The performance had been rescheduled twice, thanks to Schumer's hectic schedule, which includes shooting her upcoming film, "Trainwreck" (co-starring LeBron James), and her hit show "Inside Amy Schumer." Fans didn't seem to mind, giving Schumer a standing ovation to open her show, upon her request.
"Oh my God, sit down," Schumer said. "I would never ask you to stand up. You're the only crowd that actually stood up."
Schumer delivered some new jokes and some we've heard before. Though, she did include a few Cleveland-centric quips:
- "I could get laid here ... Ladies if you're thinking about moving to L.A. don't. Stay here, where you're hot."
- "Good luck tomorrow night. Yeah.
- "It's so nice to be here at [mumbles indecipherable words] Theatre. They've agreed to donate both halves of the proceeds to ABS. That's me - Amy Beth Schumer."
- [During a sex bit, a fan shouts out a well-known sex act with the word Cleveland in its name] "Oh no. Let's not take away the greatest thing to ever come out of this city."
- "Your museum is cool the first time. There's Jim Morrison's fourth grade report card. I get it. It was a rough year. Oh and look, here's Jimi Hendrix's shoelace."
