FORTUNE FEIMSTER
Stand-up comedian, writer, and actor, Fortune Feimster, is one of the busiest women working today.

She’s done late night TV sets on Conan and Late Night with Seth Meyers, and she has half hour specials on Comedy Central and as part of Netflix’s season one of The Standups.
As a writer, Fortune has teamed up with some of the industry’s greatest. She created and starred in the Tina Fey produced pilot Family Fortune for ABC. Additionally, Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, recently acquired two features Fortune wrote, Bad Cop, Bad Cop and Field Trip, both of which she is attached to star.
Fortune can currently be heard every morning on Sirius XM’s channel 93 for Netflix with Tom Papa.
