Amy Schumer has won yet more people over after leaving a mammoth tip for a waiter.

Schumer - who recently proclaimed "I'm probably like 160lbs right now and I can catch a dick any time I want" - left a $500 on a $49 meal at a New York restaurant.

The manager of Peter's Clam Bar on Long Island confirmed that the comedian had an "engaging, animated conversation" with the waiter, who explained that he was working two jobs to pay his college tuition fees.

The comic is known for making strong statements with her comedy. Her sketch The Last F**kable Day pokes fun at ageism in Hollywood; and Girl You Don't Need Makeup is a painfully funny One Direction music video parody.

At the Glamour Awards, Schumer was given Trailblazer of the Year. Accepting her award, she said: "I'm very glamorous. I don't feel out of place here."

Schumer added: "I'm probably like 160lbs right now and I can catch a dick any time I want."
