Amy Schumer delivers the unvarnished raunch to a big Sprint Center crowd

A few minutes into the show at the Sprint Center on Thursday night, Amy Schumer issued a warning. Or a declaration:

“Are there any families here? If you came with your family that’s on you. After the show, people will be like, ‘I brought my grandma.’ Well, you’re an idiot. That was your mistake. This show is going to be disgusting.”

It wasn’t necessarily disgusting, but much of what followed during the ensuing 90 minutes was unrepentantly raunchy: graphic and pornographic discussions about sex, genitalia, relationships, body image, even food poisoning.

Much of it was self-effacing and at the same time reaffirming — her way of dealing with issues like body insecurity: “I feel good in my own skin … I know how hot I am. I’m the third-hottest bartender at TGIFridays.” Then the real punchline: “The first two girls are going to say ‘no’ to you.”

She dismissed diets and losing weight just to please others, recalling a time she dropped a lot of pounds but her “cabbage patch head” stayed the same size and she looked like a Thanksgiving Day balloon of Tonya Harding. Being hungry is no longer in the cards for her, she said.

Sexual liberation was another theme. Schumer also extols the notion that women are allowed to be as promiscuous as men, even on a first date: “I’m going to make him wait.” Pause. “All through dinner.” Pause. “We didn’t go to dinner.”

She spent much of the first half hour or so orating about the vagina, oral sex and blackouts, recalling a time she emerged from one blackout in the middle of a sex act with a stranger: “I’m not complaining,” she deadpanned.

Her boyfriend was a recurring character, whether it be the recipient of her sexual advances or her accomplice in a bout of violent food poisoning during a romantic getaway to Paris, a cautionary tale that proved “how vomiting and food poisoning can bring a couple closer.”

Schumer made the news last month after it was reported some fans in Tampa, Fla., got up and left in the middle of her show after she went after Donald Trump. Thursday, she did not mention his name, but before a story about attending a birthday party for Hillary Clinton, she did say why she was voting for her: “Because you can’t talk to women like that,” a line that aroused a raucous cheer from a crowd of about 10,000 that was predominantly women.

Recalling the deaths of two shooting victims at a showing of her movie “Trainwreck” in Lafayette, La., in 2015, she spoke about the need to tighten loopholes that make it possible for people with mental illnesses to buy weapons.

But that was about as socio-political as she got. Then it was back to more raunchy tales about drinking, lusting after Bradley Cooper and dismissing his supermodel girlfriend, much of it in language that was not safe for work or the family dinner table.
