"The last time Fortune Feimster performed in San Jose in 2022, she had just released her second Netflix stand-up special, Good Fortune. The comedian, actress and podcaster joked about surviving the COVID-19 lockdown, discovering that she's not very "butch," meeting her wife at a Chicago pride festival, and getting married in a Zoom wedding in Malibu during the pandemic. "We met in a parking lot," Feimster said. "That's how few lesbian bars are left in America.""
""I talk about my trip to Greece, where things went awry. I talk about having to grow up and learning to be more domestic. But I also talk a lot about nostalgic stories and some things that my mom made me do as a kid, like going to a nutrition class and haunted houses. I just tell really fun, silly stories. Nostalgia is the best word I can think of.""
"Since then, Feimster has filmed her third Netflix stand-up special, 2024's Crushing It. She starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the comedy series FUBAR, and will play Will Ferrell's caddy in another comedy series about golf, both also on Netflix. Soon, she'll voice the character of a beaver in Zootopia 2. And she co-hosts a radio show, What a Joke with Papa"
Fortune Feimster headlines the Takin' Care of Biscuits tour with material drawn from personal highs and lows, travel mishaps, and nostalgic childhood memories.
