Towson University's funniest alum was back on campus last Sunday night, riffing on blacking out, the ignominy of being offered a lifetime membership for a dating app (“well, that's discouraging”) and not being Bradley Cooper's girlfriend.

Amy Schumer, Towson Class of '03 extended (more on that later), took to the stage at the university's SECU Arena and spent an hour-plus reminiscing (her roommate would play “Easy Like Sunday Morning” when one of Schumer's dates spent the night); and marveling at her fame (“It's only going to last a little longer, because every day, I burn bridges”).

“You're going to hear awful jokes for an hour,” Schumer said smiling, then proceeded to make a liar of herself.

The audience, naturally, ate it up, some doubtless heartened to hear that a Hollywood celeb like Schumer had a college career much like theirs.

Towson received a few barbs, mainly about ugly buildings and the fact that the university refused to award Schumer her diploma since she still owed about $200 in fees. (She got it a few years back, she said, while performing at the Modell Lyric).

Schumer enjoyed being in front of a hometown crowd (she was born in New York, but clearly still has a lot of friends in Towson). And while the audience loved the local flavor Schumer provided, she touched on plenty of the subjects that have made her one of the country's hottest comedians.

She spoke of sitting next to Hillary Clinton at a birthday party and asking her if she liked tequila (“I only drink it when my friends make me,” Clinton said). In a moment of seriousness, she spoke of how it “completely broke my heart” when a gunman shot and killed two women who were watching her movie, “Trainwreck,” and how it has moved her to speak out on how easy it is to obtain a gun. And she speculated on what mothers are really thinking when they look at the women their sons are dating (sorry, but like much of what was said onstage Sunday night, that one can't be quoted in a family newspaper).

And when it was all over, she left Towson triumphant — and without having to pay any more graduation fees.
