Amy Schumer will make her Broadway debut in a Steve Martin-penned play later this year.
The comedian will play Corky in Meteor Shower – a play revolving around two couples at a California dinner party. Written by Mr Martin, it debuted at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre last year.
Ms Schumer’s profile has soared in recent years, through her critically-acclaimed sketch comedy show, Inside Amy Schumer, and the 2015 hit film Trainwreck.
She posted on Instagram this week: “I got to do a Steve Martin play in college and have loved him since I saw him as the waiter in The Muppet Movie.”
