Wildly funny on the cutting edge. It falls down a wee bit in the middle but after its bravura opening 20 minutes, it regains its grip at the end. I've not laughed harder at anything on television all year.

This 65-minute show runs the gamut from tales of playful innuendo to outright raunchiness... Told in a way that only Amy Schumer can.

| Jul 31, 2019

Props to Schumer for finding the humor in the bulls---.

| Jul 31, 2019

Schumer has matured, evolved into material that's as thought-provoking as it is gut-busting, progressing from misdirectional pausing one-liners into long-form confessions and ruminations.

A pretty good set that, in this Schumer-saturated year, feels disappointing: decent, funny, inessential.

| Jul 31, 2019

Directed by Chris Rock it finds Schumer in fine raunchy form... It is predictably hilarious.

| Jul 31, 2019

Fans should be pleased. As usual, everyone else will be appalled.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 31, 2019

[Schumer] loves to play the bad girl, and she's awfully good at it.

| Jul 31, 2019

Contrite? Unclear. Still very funny? For sure.

If Live at the Apollo doesn't have quite the number of guffaws that Inside Amy Schumer so often produces, it nevertheless remains a deliriously enjoyable and refreshing take on a rite of passage for most major comedians.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 31, 2019

After 11 years on the road, Schumer's hot-mess routine is well honed, but this showcase is only intermittently special.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 31, 2019

By turns coy, insecure, dramatic and challenging, Schumer has the flexibility to make her conversation both intimate and grandstanding.

| Jul 31, 2019

Let it be known that Schumer's comedy is not only smart, it's also wildly funny.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 31, 2019

This special doesn't hold the inspiration of her best sketches or the emotional pull of her movie. But Live At The Apollo does show how Schumer might blend the sensibilities of her other projects even when she's alone on stage.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 31, 2019

Live at the Apollo is her funniest and most thoughtful stand-up yet, but it proves she still has room to grow as a comedian, if she doesn't devote herself to movies full-time.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 31, 2019

[Schumer] quickly segues into the clueless-gal-of-privilege mode that's earned her both praise and scorn. It's an interesting, frequently very funny line to watch her walk.

| Jul 31, 2019

What the special drove home for me is that while Amy Schumer is wonderful at stand-up, it's not even the best thing she does.

| Mar 7, 2018

The result is that her comedy seems effortless, and properly authentic.

It doesn't really matter if half the act is already familiar. Amy Schumer is the kind of woman capable of multiples, allowing the same joke to ripple through the body of her routine several times over.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 18, 2016

It's a comfortable kind of self-deprecation, born of insecurity but delivered with a confidence that takes the sting out and gives the listener a snug feeling of complicity.
