FAME with Jo Elvin

WITH AMY SCHUMER

This week's guest became wildly successful overnight, a prospect she previously thought would be terrifying. When Amy Schumer started out on the comedy circuit, she obviously dreamed of success, but never coveted the thought of being instantly recognisable. Amy talks about how it felt when the realisation hit that life would never be the same again, the infinitely higher expectations women in the public eye are held to as opposed to their male counterparts, and how she and famous BFF Jenifer Lawrence acknowledge and laugh about their lives as celebrities.Amy also kicks-off this week's #FameFails for us, as she recounts a flash decision that could have had a disastrous turn-out!

We've all wondered what it must be like to be famous, right? But how can any of us mere mortals understand what it's really like? Becoming a celebrity changes so much more than your bank balance - psychological studies have even shown that becoming famous will change the chemistry of a person's brain - so can you really, truly stay grounded when stardom calls? In this podcast series, I'll try to answer these questions and even more, through in-depth conversations with the only people who really know what it's like. In this series you'll hear from the likes of Amy Schumer, Jameela Jamil and Tracey-Ann Oberman who share with us some fascinating insights from a position held by very few. Plus, we'll be hearing from you about the times you've unintentionally let your ape-brain take hold in the midst of being star struck ... come-on we've all got a story of embarrassing ourselves in front of someone off the telly, I've got loads and will also be sharing some of my #famefails. Welcome to FAME, with me, Jo Elvin.
