Amy Schumer is returning to Ireland later this summer, taking her live stand-up show to Dublin's 3Arena on Friday, August 26.
The comedian and Emmy Award winning actress was in Dublin last August for the Irish premiere of her last movie Trainwreck at The Savoy Cinema, when she told TEN: "I'm in love in Dublin, I want to move here, no joke. This is the perfect, perfect place for me."
Schumer and the film's director Judd Apatow had a blast during their time in Dublin, even managing to squeeze in some time to have a pub sing-song with Glen Hansard.
They were spotted in Grogans pub on Dublin's Castle Street belting out some tunes including The Aul Triangle with The Frames singer and Once star, and even managed to gate crash a wedding.

Schumer and Apatow also appeared in a special Q&A session with Panti Bliss at the O'Reilly Theatre in Dublin, where she delighted fans by saying: "I've had a lot of sex in my life, and no bull****, 80 per cent of those were Irish people."
"Don't applaud that," she added. "You know what that means."
Schumer also secured an eye-watering deal worth between €7 and €9 million for her upcoming memoir, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, which is also due for release in August.
According to her website the book “will feature personal and observational stories from Schumer that range from the raunchy to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing” and no doubt some of those stories will feature strongly in her stand up show in Dublin.
Tickets for her upcoming show go on sale on Wednesday next June 8 at 9am via Ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.
