Here are 10 things you didn't know about Amy Schumer, and no it has nothing to do with the recent allegations that she's "racist" for her parody of Beyoncé's "Formation."

Comedian Amy Schumer has cancelled all of the remaining dates on her world tour, including one show scheduled in New Zealand on Saturday, December 17.

Promoters announced in a statement on Monday morning that Schumer's Australasian tour dates have been cancelled "due to illness".

During an interview in November, Schumer admitted that she "didn't even know" New Zealand was included in her tour.

"Um, I can say to you honestly that I didn't know I was coming to New Zealand till you said that just now," she said at the time.

"I feel like I'm on a game show and I just won a free trip to New Zealand! So thank you for that, I'm super excited."

"I don't know anything about New Zealand," she added. "I hear that the people are very beautiful."

The announcement follows a rough few weeks for the Trainwreck star, who suffered an onslaught of online 'fat shaming' after it was revealed she was in talks to play the lead in Sony's live-action Barbie movie.

The actor will reportedly star as the film's titular character, despite her feeling that she doesn't fit in with the other perfectly proportioned dolls.

While this would strike most rational adults as a good thing - especially because, as the Daily Mail reports, "a full size barbie would not be able to hold her head up and would have to walk on all fours" - it appears fat-shamers couldn't help themselves.

"If Barbie became obese and heinous to men, @amyschumer is perfect," read one particularly heinous tweet.

Schumer, who is unrepentant about her realistic body shape, once admitted at the 2014 Gloria awards "I want to throw my hands in the air, after reading a mean Twitter comment, and say, 'All right! You got it. You figured me out... All my self-worth is based on what you can see".

"But then I think, f*** that," she continued.

The comedian was scheduled to perform a series of stand-up comedy shows in the Southern Hemisphere, including one show at Auckland's Vector Arena.

Best known for her hit TV series Inside Amy Schumer, airing in New Zealand on Comedy Central, Schumer came under fire during a stand-up show in October, after a series of Trump jokes failed to impress her staunchly Republican audience in Tampa, Florida.

According to reports, the comedian slammed Trump during her stand-up show, reportedly referring to the now President-elect as an "orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster."

A reporter for the Tampa Bay Times who attended the show, counted about 200 people walking out over the comments, and after Schumer brought a fan who supported Trump onstage to question him about his decision.

Schumer responded to the people booing in the audience by telling them to leave if they didn't like her opinions.

Kiwi fans who purchased tickets to Schumer's Auckland show, have been advised by tour promoters to direct their refund enquires to Ticketmaster or their original point of purchase.
