Schumer added the caption: “Guess who auditioned for @Madonna and got the part? See you in NYC on Sept 16, 17 and 19.

The comedienne’s star is very much on the rise after hosting the MTV Movie Awards earlier this year and landing on Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential List. Her upcoming movie Trainwreck is also one of the summer’s most-anticipated releases.
