The photo sees Schumer right in the middle of her performance. Donning a black, long-sleeved, V-neck mini dress, the actress seems quite enthused about her act.

However, several fans on Instagram were actually shocked by her quick return to work. She gave birth to her first child only a few weeks ago on May 5.
