Amy Schumer accepts the award for outstanding variety sketch series for “Inside Amy Schumer” at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015, at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Where is the worst imaginable place to spend a weekend?

According Amy Schumer, it’s Reno.

The comedian and actress recently called the Biggest Little City “a dump” during an interview with BBC’s Emily Maitlis, who asked her to name the worst place she could imagine being for a weekend.

UNLV’s student section, the Rebellion, tweeted a video of the single question, which was cut from the full interview.

Schumer performed in Reno’s Silver State Pavilion at the Grand Sierra Resort in April 2015.
