Trainweck’s Amy Schumer, Colin Quinn, Vanessa Bayer, Mike Birbiglia And Dave Attell Come To SiriusXM's Comedy Central Radio; Special To Be Hosted by Director Judd Apatow

"Trainwreck" will take over Comedy Central Radio over the Fourth of July weekend. SiriusXM announced that the cast and crew of Universal Pictures' upcoming comedy "Trainwreck" will hold a Town Hall meeting moderated by directed by director Judd Apatow, who helmed "Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

SiriusXM's "Trainwreck" Town Hall will include the film's performers discussing their new comedy. Trainwreck was written by and starring Amy Schumer, of Comedy Central's "Inside Amy Schumer."

"No contemporary filmmaker has chronicled the messy human experience with the eye and ear of a comedic cultural anthropologist like Judd Apatow," reads the press statement.

"Hits as varied as those he's directed, like "Knocked Up" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," and those he's produced, like Superbad and Bridesmaids, are all unified by their honest, unflinching, comic look at how complicated it is to grow up in the modern world. "

"Apatow has also built a history of helping break distinctive new comedy voices into the mainstream, from Seth Rogen to Lena Dunham among many others.

"Now, in his fifth feature film as a director, Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy star, together in "Trainwreck," written by and starring Amy Schumer ("Inside Amy Schumer") as a woman who lives her life without apologies, even when maybe she should apologize. 

"Since she was a little girl, it's been drilled into Amy's (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin Quinn) that monogamy isn't realistic," reads the official synopsis.

"Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo-enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment-but in actuality, she's kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she's writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something."

Trainwreck co-stars Brie Larson, John Cena, Vanessa Bayer, Mike Birbiglia, Ezra Miller, Dave Attell, Tilda Swinton and LeBron James. Apatow produces Trainwreck through his Apatow Productions alongside Barry Mendel ("Bridesmaids," "This Is 40"). 

The "Trainwreck" Takeover on Comedy Central Radio will showcase comedy from Schumer, Colin Quinn, Mike Birbiglia, Dave Attell, and other comedians from "Trainwreck," as well as feature a special edition of SiriusXM's "Town Hall" series.

The "Trainwreck" Takeover on Comedy Central Radio will air on channel 95, beginning Saturday, July 4, at 7:00 a.m. ET and will air through Sunday, July 5.

The broadcast will also be available through the SiriusXM App on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.

SiriusXM's "Town Hall" series are intimate gatherings with iconic musicians, entertainers and figures and a studio audience of SiriusXM listeners.

Previous "SiriusXM Town Hall" specials have featured Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Willie Nelson, Billy Crystal, Tom Petty, Kevin Hart, Alicia Keys, Tony Bennett, Aerosmith, Carol Burnett, Ringo Starr, Roger Waters, Crosby, Stills and Nash and the surviving members of Nirvana.

Comedy Central Radio is part of a robust comedy lineup on SiriusXM including Jeff & Larry's Comedy Roundup, Jamie Foxx's The Foxxhole channel, Carlin's Corner, Laugh USA, and Raw Dog Comedy Hits.

"Trainwreck" arrives in theaters on July 17.
