#TBT! Amy Schumer takes on motherhood, prostitutes and a 'drunk' heckler during a 2009 stand-up performance

Trainwreck and a stream of recent hilarious skits and crack-up interviews have made Amy Schumer the hottest comedian of the moment. But the 34-year-old was already exhibiting perfect coming timing way back in 2009.
When a too-chatty audience member interrupted her during a 2009 stand-up gig in Atlanta, Amy really let her have it…in the funniest possible way.
"This isn't a class, do you know that?" Amy asked when the woman raised her hand…and she was on a roll from there.
Watch Amy handle the situation – and the heckler – in the video above.
Pretty funny stuff. Amy really knew how to work a crowd in 2009, two years after placing fourth on Last Comic Standing. The big mystery is why it took her so long to blow up in the mainstream.
