On the netflix...from a chicago theater, a one hour special. Released october 2022, just after the pandemic. Some funny stories... from being insulted by a conservative guy, to being supported from the fellow ladies. And what it took to save her tiny tiny little dog. Some funny stories. About her home life and her married life. Directed by manny rodriguez. He had directed tons of the ellen degeneres shows. Funny stuff. Exactly one hour, on netflix streaming channel. Much like seinfeld, or jay leno, i get the idea that this lady is still on her way up the stardom ladder. Keep an eye on her! Good stuff.

Feast or Famine in Comedy Specials Now
genious-3541327 October 2022
It seems like comedy specials have succumbed to the dichotomy of eing either really good or really bad now. Bill Burr's last special, Sam Morrill's latest are stellar. Whitney Cummings, Iliza Schlessinger almost unwatchable. And I'm happy to say that Fortune Feimster's is one of the really good ones. A little bit of covid material out of the way early and then a great story of her proposing and best of all, a funny and profound anecdote about a fella named Gary. I wouldn't dare say any more because the material is so well written and performed that I don't want to ruin it. She is the reason I kept Netflix for yet another month. Not kidding - I want to cancel it but saw her special coming up and knew that it wasn't time.
Watch this if you enjoy laughing.

Laugh and cry

Do you love humor that is real, heartwarming, and refreshing? This will make your stomach hurt from laughing. I went in with no expectations and cried a little at the end. This special is so wholesome that it gives me hope for humanity.
A lot of comedy can be really repetitive, and truly there's nothing wrong with that. This routine somehow had similar themes, but the delivery is perfection. You really get a feel for who she is as a person in such a subtle clever way. Nothing feels forced. I'd love to talk more in depth but as someone who almost never writes reviews for anything, but enjoys reading them, I want you to watch and appreciate for yourself.

Laughed the whole way through

Fortune's always funny, but this was particularly fantastic! My spouse and I were laughing almost the entire time. Though she touched on the pandemic, she didn't rely on it heavily, so it didn't come across as repetitive. The pacing was great. The call-backs were well-timed and hilarious. Fortune has this awesome ability to talk about real life problems, yet she doesn't drag her audience down. She ended things on a high note and we felt good afterwards. It's definitely a mood booster and I find her to be a positive person (though not in a fake, toxic positivity kind of way!). I've really liked her since I first saw her material and she's now landed among my top 5 fave comedians with this special.
SO SO GOOD!!

This is the most complete, heartfelt Stand-Up special I've ever seen. I have never been so touched by comedy in my life. Not only is Fortune Feimster hilarious, she's real. She's been through some things and she's not afraid to share them with the most hilarious interpretations and impressions.
She's real about herself. She's real about her family. I burst out laughing when she talked about her mom's wedding. Storytelling at its finest! Every story in this special is so funny. So powerful. So meaningful. So relatable. She's a real one!
The ending wraps every joke up beautifully. The story she tells about her dog whims up every emotion. The way the special ends is the most special special in all stand-up comedy. Gifted and hilarious!
So funny. So beautiful. 11/10!
