Fortune Feimster Brings “Takin’ Care of Biscuits Comedy Tour” to Lexington Opera House on Friday, June 20, 2025
LEXINGTON, KY (December 2, 2024) –– Fortune Feimster, a one-of-a-kind comedian, is bringing her “Takin’ Care of Biscuits Comedy Tour” to Lexington Opera House on Friday, June 20, 2025. As a comedian, writer, and actor, Fortune Feimster connects people with her confessional and relatable brand of comedy. Using laughter and storytelling, she shows audiences of every age, background, and sexual orientation that common ground is never far off—it's often just a joke or two away.
Viewers really got to know Fortune through her first Netflix special, “Sweet & Salty,” which was nominated for a Critics Choice Award. With her last special “Good Fortune” and her Live Laugh Love Tour she expands further into her storytelling brand of comedy, hilariously delving into love, relationships, sexuality, and shared experiences with Southern charm and the perspective of someone who grew up in the 1980s. She’s your funniest cousin who isn't afraid to entertain the masses with tales of her good fortune, insecurities, and faux pas, including meeting her spouse in a parking lot, falling in love, and her extravagant proposal that didn’t quite go as planned. Now streaming on Netflix, Good Fortune has earned praise from fans and critics, with the LA Times naming it to their Best of List for 2022 and scoring a nomination at the Critics Choice Awards. Fortune just filmed her third special for Netflix in Seattle, WA.
The North Carolina native began her ascent to popularity as a writer and panelist on E’s hit show “Chelsea Lately.” She then starred as a series regular on “The Mindy Project” for Hulu and on “Champions” and “Kenan” for NBC. She has logged a multitude of guest appearances on television shows, including “Claws,” “Nora from Queens,” “2 Broke Girls,” “The L Word: Generation Q,” “Workaholics,” “Glee,” and “Tales of the City.” Audiences became even more familiar with Fortune through her recurring role as the popular character Dougie on CBS’s “Life In Pieces.”
Her movie roles include appearances in “Family Switch,” “Office Christmas Party,” “Yes Day,” “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” and “Father of the Year.” She's a voice actor, recently voicing the role of Evelyn on “The Simpsons” and Counselor Jerry in Pixar’s “Soul” along with recurring characters Brenda on “Bless the Harts” for Fox, Ava on “Summer Camp Island” for the Cartoon Network, and Olive in “Velma” on HBO Max.
Fortune has been building an innovative, inclusive, and unique career for more than 20 years. Be it on the road, on her radio show, on film, or on television, her contagious and joyous comedy is touching lives and bringing us together daily. And with opportunities piling up as fast as punchlines, it's clear the determined and unflappable comedian is just getting started.
