Amy Schumer Leaves a $1,000 Tip for the ‘Hamilton’ Bar Staff

Thinking about leaving a $15 tip on a $77 bill? We would, too, but Amy Schumer had another number in mind when she last tipped her bartender.

The Trainwreck star recently left a $1,000 tip on a $77 tab while at the Broadway show, Hamilton. Schumer was with her boyfriend, Ben Hanisch, and friends at the time.


All the bartenders who work in the theatre are aspiring actors, so perhaps Schumer knows how they feel. Whether she identified with the group or was just trying to do something nice, this move only further proves how cool Amy is. 

According to the New York Daily News, this was the biggest tip the Hamilton bar staff has ever received. Not too shabby, Amy.
