Surprise: Guess who’s opening for Madonna

Amy Schumer has her own show on Comedy Central, where she isn't afraid to let fly with the off-color humor.

Madonna has a tour that will launch Aug. 29 in Miami that will last into December, and she’ll be opened by an entirely different kind of performer: comedienne Amy Schumer, a woman known for raunchy comedy rather than your typical singing opening act.

Schumer, who has a show on Comedy Central and is known for her raunchy humor, bragged over Twitter that she “auditioned for @Madonna and got the part,” posting a video of her dancing and singing “Like a Prayer” at around the age of 10, according to an Uproxx report.

Madonna is touring to promote her new album, Rebel Heart.

Schumer stars in the sketch comedy show Inside Amy Schumer, which premiered on Comedy Central in 2013. She also finished fourth on the fifth season of Last Comic Standing on NBC, and was second on Reality Bites Back, a Comedy Central Series. In addition, she had a recurring role in Delocated on Adult Swim.

She is the second cousin of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer.

Schumer first got her break in 1992 when she was dressed as a boy for the musical drama Newsies, and also starred in some off-Broadway show before doing stand-up comedy in 2004.
