Special Event: An Evening of Crowdwork with Fortune Feimster
Fortune Feimster is a critically acclaimed comedian, actress, and host known for her upbeat
style, unique comedic perspective, and infectious energy. She invites audiences into her world
where laughter and love reign supreme.
She recently wrapped production on the Netflix film The Fifth Wheel, starring alongside Kim
Kardashian, Nikki Glaser, and Brenda Song, and directed by Eva Longoria. She will next be
seen opposite Will Ferrell in Hawk, Netflix’s upcoming golf comedy series premiering in July
2026, and is currently on her national “Takin’ Care of Biscuits” tour. Most recently, she voiced
“Nibbles” in Disney’s Oscar-nominated animated hit Zootopia 2, which grossed $1.8 billion
worldwide.
In 2024, her third Netflix comedy special, Fortune Feimster: Crushing It, debuted following the
success of her previous specials, Good Fortune (2022) and Sweet & Salty (2020), both of which
earned Critics Choice nominations.
In addition to stand-up and acting, Feimster co-hosts the hit podcast Handsome with Tig Notaro
and Mae Martin, which has amassed over 20 million downloads since its 2023 launch. In March
2026, Handsome won the Outstanding Podcast award at the GLAAD Media Awards, recognized
for its impact, humor, and meaningful representation. She can also be heard daily on SiriusXM,
co-hosting Netflix’s What A Joke with Papa and Fortune.
Feimster first gained national attention as a writer and panelist on E!’s Chelsea Lately. Her
television credits include FUBAR (opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger), The Mindy Project,
Champions, and Kenan, with guest appearances on Claws, Nora from Queens, and Life in
Pieces. Her film credits include Yes Day, Office Christmas Party, and Barb and Star Go to Vista
Del Mar, along with voice work in The Simpsons, Soul, and Bless the Harts.

The loveable Southern comic, Fortune Feimster, moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue comedy after graduating Summa Cum Laude from Peace College in North Carolina. First she made a pit stop in Sevilla, Spain where she taught English, studied Spanish, and backpacked all over Europe for a year. Then with $25 in her pocket she landed in Los Angeles, slept on a friend’s couch for a month, and hoped for the best.
After a brief stint as a personal assistant where she lost her boss’s cat on at least three occasions (don’t worry she found him!), Fortune was hired to be an entertainment journalist for the syndicated newspaper column Beck/Smith. She would remain with them for seven years where she was published in such outlets as the Creators Syndicate, Netscape.com, and the LA and NY Daily News.
It was in 2005 that Fortune began taking improv and sketch classes at the Groundlings Theatre as a way to make friends but soon a budding comedian was born! After four years of intense training, she was selected to be in the Groundlings’ prestigious Sunday Company (with alumni like Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig) where she performed a new sketch show every week for a year-and-a-half.
It wouldn’t be long before Fortune would begin making a name for herself in the standup world after being made a paid regular at the World Famous Comedy Store and being selected as one of the “New Faces” at the renowned Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Soon she made her national TV debut on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” where she finished as a semi-finalist.
During this time, she was flown out twice to New York to audition in front of Lorne Michaels for “Saturday Night Live,” but it would be Chelsea Handler who would give Fortune her next big platform. Fortune has now been a full-time writer and performer on the E! Network’s popular show, “Chelsea Lately,” for the last three years, and is a main cast member on their scripted series “After Lately.”
Most recently Fortune opened for Chelsea at Caesar’s Palace in Windsor and she performed in front of 15,000 people as part of Dave Chappelle and Flight of the Conchord’s “Oddball Fest.” Her standup was also featured on HBO Canada’s “Funny As Hell” and she’ll be appearing in an upcoming episode of Comedy Central’s storytelling show “This Is Not Happening.” She can currently be seen in the Jim Belushi movie, “The Secret Lives of Dorks,” which was just released in theaters.
In her spare time, Fortune acts like she’s 12 years old by playing soccer and tennis every week, she has a secret passion for scrapbooking (shhh!!), and she writes ridiculous things on Twitter. She also travels all over the world doing standup so be sure to check out the calendar section for an opportunity to see Fortune live at a comedy club near you!
