Amy Zvi

Amy Zvi’s name keeps popping up behind the scenes of some seriously sharp comedy projects. You know that dry, whip-smart humor you get from Sarah Silverman? Yeah, Amy’s one of the producers keeping the engine running. She’s worked on “Sarah Silverman: A Speck of Dust” (2017), which, honestly, is peak Silverman—personal, awkward, and somehow makes you laugh and cringe at the same time. But Amy doesn’t stop there. She’s also got credits on “Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles” (2013), the special that snagged an Emmy. Not too shabby, right? That one takes Silverman’s stand-up out of the usual mega-theaters and plops her in a tiny club, up close and unfiltered. It’s raw, it’s weird, and Amy’s right in the thick of it, making sure everything lands just right. Oh, and if you ever caught “I Love You, America” (2017), you’ve probably seen her vibe there too. That show was all about breaking the echo chamber, bringing people with wildly different opinions into the same room and trying to find some common ground—while, obviously, being hilarious about it. Amy’s fingerprints are all over these projects, blending sharp humor with a little bit of heart. She’s not the one on stage, but trust, she’s making the magic happen behind the curtain. If you’re into comedy that actually tries to say something, odds are you’ve seen her work, even if you didn’t realize it.
