Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo is an hour-long comedy special from Amy Schumer that premiered on HBO on October 17, 2015.[1] The special was recorded in May 2015[2] with comedian Chris Rock directing;[3] Rock's work earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special.[4] Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo also received Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special.[5][6] The special also earned a Writers Guild of America nomination.[7]

Reception

Reviewing the special in Paste, Garrett Martin described the topics of Schumer's special as similar to the stand-up clips in her television show Inside Amy Schumer, but "she’s matured as a comedian—she’s able to get bigger and better laughs with material that’s a little bit subtler than in the past."[8] In Slate, Willa Paskin said much of the special was "funny and scathing" but while "Schumer often makes fun of both herself and of gender standards, which can be a cannily self-deprecating way of skewering the status quo...sometimes [this] just seems like an inadvertent upholding of it."[9]

Awards

In 2017, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.[10]
