The rumours are true, Amy Schumer is coming to New Zealand.

After much speculation, promoters confirmed the American stand-up comedian and actress will be coming to Auckland on December 17.

Schumer is best known for creating the hit show Inside Amy Schumer and the 2015 movie Trainwreck.

The show won the Writers Guild Award for 'Best Comedy/Variety Sketch Series' and won the first-ever Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Variety Sketch Series', as well as a bunch of other nominations.

While starring in Trainwreck, Schumer was nominated for two Golden Globes: 'Actress, Comedy or Musical' and 'Best Picture, Comedy or Musical'.

In 2015 the British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA) honoured Schumer with the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for 'Excellence in Comedy'.

Tickets for the Vector Arena show go on sale at midday Thursday July 14.
