Amy Schumer has gone from a writer and comedian on the small screen into a fully blown actress, with her debut film Trainwreck being a huge hit this summer.

But she’s also proven she's something of a quadruple threat after showing off her rapping.

Schumer joined rapper Talib Kweli on stage at a show in Chicago and teamed up to perform Kanye West's "Get Em High". The song was released in 2004 and featured Kweli and rapper Common.

Schumer held her own, rapping three lines of the song and getting a huge reaction from the crowd. Clips were soon published on Instagram.
