An estimated 200 people walked out of Amy Schumer's recent show in Florida, after the comedian mocked Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Schumer referred to Trump as an "orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster", according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Loud booing from a vocal, but small minority of the arena crowd started about halfway through the show, when Schumer's raunchy humor veered into more topical matters, including gun control and the presidential election.

At one point, she asked for a Trump supporter - preferably one with sleeves, she told security personnel - to join her up on stage to explain their enthusiasm for Trump. One fellow did, but he said he was voting for Trump mainly because he doesn't trust Clinton.

When some audience members booed, the actor/comedian invited them to leave and also asked security to remove anyone booing.

While alluding the allegations of sexual assault against Trump, Schumer asked anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to stand, and dozens did.

Schumer revealed she was sexually assaulted in her recently published book, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo.
