Amy Schumer closes HBO special with Houdini joke
Amy Schumer, one of my favorite comedians, closed her new HBO comedy special with a joke about Houdini. I didn't see the show, but I was able to track down a clip at Decider. It's dirty, so don't watch if you are sensitive. But I think it's pretty funny and I love her last line: "It's not fair to Houdini."
You can catch Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo on HBO.
