During the scene she could be glimpsed outside The Fat Black Pussycat which is the sister bar of the iconic Greenwich Village comedy club The Comedy Cellar. 

In real life Amy has a long history with the Comedy Cellar – she even performed her first set as a mother there just two weeks after she delivered Gene. 

When she was trolled online for returning to work so soon after giving birth she joked: ‘I’ve always wanted to be mom shamed!!!!’  

She will be writing and directing multiple episodes of Life & Beth on which she also has an executive producer role.

Her pregnancy was shown on last year’s HBO docuseries Expecting Amy where she was seen telling Christy Turlington she was considering surrogacy next time.

She said there was a ‘90% chance’ of her contracting hyperemesis if she got pregnant again and quipped that she was ‘never’ going to do so.

Early last year she began the in vitro fertilization process for another baby but then she decided to pause it because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Amy revealed on The Howard Stern Show last April that ‘we were gonna like try to make a move and COVID happened.’

The Snatched actress explained: ‘And I’m just kinda like walking it back like: “Okay, maybe we”ll just revisit that in a minute.”‘ 

Last summer she told Access that IVF was ‘really hard on my body, it was really hard on me emotionally. You know, and we got one embryo so that’s not like, you know, we knocked it out of the park but we’re grateful that we got one normal embryo.’

Then last month on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Amy said she and Chris were ‘trying to figure out’ the process of having a second child.
