Holy Hamilton! Comedian Amy Schumer went to see the beloved musical this weekend and gave quite a presidential tip to the theater’s bartending staff.
She added cool $1000 for a tab of just $77. That’s an approximately 1230% tip. Which is crazy. Fortunately for you skeptics, actress, singer and bartender Madeleine DeJohn posted the following photographic evidence of Schumer’s generous tip:
She told Gothamist that this wasn’t the first time Schumer has visited the show and tipped heftily:
When she came to the bar a few months ago and put $80 in our tip jar, I went up to her and thanked her and she basically was like, ‘Of course, I’ve been there, I get it, you guys are great.’ I’ve never encountered this kind of generosity before.”
According to the staff, this was the biggest tip they’ve ever received from one client.
