Schumer's acid-tongued comments about the Republican nominee cause a mass walkout and boos at her show in Tampa.
Around 200 people walked out of Amy Schumer's Florida show after the comedian called Donald Trump a "sexual-assaulting monster".
"You know what I love? A famous guy that will just take me furniture shopping and just straight up grab my p****," Schumer said to boos from the crowd at Sunday's show in Tampa.
The comedian, who has voiced her support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, saw hundreds of the audience walk out when she started discussing the presidential election.
"I know you're here to laugh, but you know what, you choose your life, you choose the way you want to go in your life, and it's just too important," Schumer said.

Hey @amyschumer leave the political stuff out of your comedy shows. We came to laugh not talk politics. We can turn On CNN and NBC for that😊

The 35-year old actress then invited a Trump supporter on stage to explain his views.
"Do you get worried at all with how impulsive he is?" she asked the man - adding afterwards that she really appreciated his answer.
"That was just cool to hear what one guy, who doesn't seem like a psychopath, why he would want to vote for that orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster," Schumer said.
At which point, according to the Tampa Bay Times, people started exiting the show and you could hear a "small but vocal" part of the audience booing.

Schumer is known for her controversial shows, where she discusses topics like sexual violence - being a victim of sexual assault herself, gun policy and the presidential campaign.
After the show she tweeted the Tampa Bay Times' review of her act, with the words "All love Tampa".
Some of those who walked out posted their own comments on Twitter, criticising the comedian for being "too political".
In a statement to Vanity Fair, the comedian said she wanted to thank the 8,400 people who stayed.
"We have always depended on comedians to make us laugh and tell the truth", she added.
"I am proud to continue that tradition."
