Amy Schumer Is Coming To Naperville This Weekend For Book Tour

Amy Schumer is one of the funniest people alive, so we’d probably recommend you pay to see her stand in line at the post office. But the Trainwreck writer/star will go several steps better when appears in Naperville this Saturday to promote her much-anticipated new personal essay collection, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. Presented by Anderson's Bookshop, Schumer will appear at Pfeiffer Hall (310 E. Benton Ave.) at 2 p.m. Tickets ($32) include a copy of the book. And for those looking for details about her relationship with Chicago native Ben Hanisch, Schumer does indeed offer some light on how they met and started seeing each other in the book.

Earlier this year, Schumer vociferously (and hilariously) denied rumors that she met Hanisch through Bumble, but she did in fact meet the irritatingly handsome furniture designer through a dating app. The Tribune speculates it was likely Raya, the exclusive, celeb-preferred networking platform.

Hanisch, it turns out, was the first person she met on the app. They met(-cute) a few weeks later, per the Tribune:

“The night I first met Ben in person ... it was raining. I'd just had acupuncture, so there was oil in my hair and there were deep red lines on my cheeks from being face down on the table, but I put on jeans instead of sweatpants and walked downstairs to meet him outside. I got out into the rain, and Ben was standing there, no umbrella or hood, with a soggy paper bag with a bottle of wine in it. We smiled at each other and in that moment, everything felt right.”

Oh, and if you don't already, make sure to follow Schumer on social media. If she announces another surprise standup performance, you won't want to miss the boat.
