Fortune Feimster
Fortune Feimster is a standup comedian, writer, and actor who uses her confessional comedy to bring people together, showing audiences of all kinds that common ground is only a joke or two away. As a North Carolina native, she is returning to her roots, and stomping grounds, with the “Takin’ Care of Biscuits Comedy Tour”.
Known for her Critics Choice Awards-nominated Netflix specials, “Good Fortune”, and “Sweet & Salty”, Feimster continues to expand further into her storytelling brand of comedy, hilariously delving into love, relationships, and shared experiences with Southern charm and the perspective of someone who grew up in the 1980s.
