NAPERVILLE, IL — Comedian and Emmy-winner Amy Schumer is coming to Naperville.

Anderson’s Bookshop is presenting a special booksigning line-only event at Pfeiffer Hall, 310 E. Benton Ave., on the campus of North Central College, in Naperville.

The award-winning Schumer will be celebrating her collection of comedic essays and personal stories in her memoir “The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo.” This event is planned for Saturday, August 20 at 2 p.m.

Tickets for this special Amy Schumer event go on sale beginning Tuesday, July 26 at 10 a.m. Tickets are required and available exclusively at amyschumerandersons.brownpapertickets.com. A limited number of tickets are being offered for this event. Due to the expected turnout, security will be in place.

Schumer’s bold, unflinching humor has made her a household name, and the praise has piled up. Her 2016 Emmy Award came for her popular TV show, “Inside Amy Schumer,” which won for Best Variety Sketch Comedy Series. She is also well known for last year’s box office smash, “Trainwreck.”

Book description from Anderson’s Bookshop:

In “The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo,” Schumer mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is—a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh.

Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend—an unforgettable and fun adventure that you wish could last forever. Whether she’s experiencing lust-at-first-sight while in the airport security line, sharing her own views on love and marriage, admitting to being an introvert, or discovering her crossfit instructor’s secret bad habit, Amy Schumer proves to be a big hearted, brave, and thoughtful storyteller that will leave you nodding your head in recognition, laughing out loud, and sobbing uncontrollably—but only because it’s over.
