Fortune Feimster

Fortune Feimster is coming to the Paramount Theatre on Friday, November 13, for a stand-up comedy show that's a bit more than a standard night out. This one is a live video taping, with cameras and crew on set, so if you're in the audience, your image and likeness might end up in the final recorded special and the promotional materials that follow. It's a good thing to keep in mind before you grab your tickets.

Feimster is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor from North Carolina, and her comedy is built on a confessional, Southern-charm style that draws heavily from her life and her upbringing in the 1980s. She first got a lot of attention as a writer and panelist on Chelsea Lately, and from there she moved into acting as a series regular on The Mindy Project on Hulu, and on Champions and Kenan on NBC. She's also had recurring roles on Claws and Life in Pieces, where she played Dougie.

Her stand-up has earned her a couple of Critics Choice Award nominations: one for her Netflix special Sweet & Salty, and another for Good Fortune, which also made the LA Times' Best of List for 2022. More recently, she's starring as Roo Russell in the Netflix action-comedy series FUBAR alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. She's also done voice work for The Simpsons, Pixar's Soul, and Velma, and she hosts the podcast Handsome with Tig Notaro and Mae Martin.

Since this is a taping, you're seeing the set as it's being recorded for a special, rather than just a stop on a tour. The show is at the Paramount Theatre at 1621 Glenarm Place in Denver, starting at 7 PM on Friday, November 13, with tickets at $15.
