Amy Schumer, the hilarious comedian behind Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer and the hit movie Trainwreck, is on her way to St. Louis for her highly anticipated show tonight at the Scottrade Center and tweeted this pic from the air:
St. Louis comedy fans were already abuzz at her imminent arrival, but visual proof that one of America’s favorite comedians is on her way to the ‘Lou prompted many of them to start tweeting her welcome messages, offers, and even some helpful advice.
St. Louis is giving Schumer its warmest welcome. If St. Louisans have their way, she won’t be lacking for anything she needs, especially beer, yoga supplies, or lovin’:
(To be fair to Brian, Schumer made it *very* clear when she accepted the Trailblazer Award at Glamour UK’s Woman of the Year Awards that, “I’m probably, like, 160 pounds right now, and I can catch a dick whenever I want,” in a NSFW video.)

Since St. Louis can be a tough town for newbies to navigate, locals also tweeted a few tips for making the most out of her trip to the Gateway to the West:
1. Visit the City Museum.
Zakary Littrell has been trying for weeks to get Schumer to try out one of St. Louis’ most entertaining and unique attractions. Trust us, Schumer, it’s worth the visit.
2. Skip Ted Drewes this time.
Unless you need a Christmas tree, it’s too chilly for Ted Drewes. We recommend picking up one of Park Avenue Coffee’s 76 flavors of gooey butter cake and then returning to STL in the summer during peak Ted Drewes season.
3. Bundle up.
Like we said in No. 2, it’s cold outside. Brr.
4. Eat at Lion’s Choice.
St. Louis is full of delicious restaurants. (We list many of them in our Best New Restaurants 2015 guide.) But real talk: Lion’s Choice is pretty amazing, too. Quality advice, Rob.
5. Snap a selfie at the Arch.
The Gateway Arch just celebrated its 50th anniversary. Construction on the new park has things a little harried right now, but it’s still worth seeing. Knowing Schumer, we anticipate plenty of R-rated female anatomy jokes from her visit.
6. Meet Nelly.
Taylor Swift did it, twice. Plus, he just beat that felony meth charge. E.I!
7. Head to Branson.
At first, this didn’t seem like good advice. But then we realized, Schumer is probably a huge fan of another bold, brash, blond entertainer we know: Dolly Parton. Take it from us, Schumer, you won’t be sorry if you catch a performance of Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede before you go to the next leg of your tour.
