I came across Fortune via YouTube and just loved listening to her describe her experiences with such heart! We watched her specials and Fubar series and I told my husband "If she comes to town, we have to get tickets!". He agreed. The line around the block may have been long but it didn't take forever to get in once the doors were opened. She is such an amazing individual and I can't wait to see what she will do next!
Hilariously funny and a once in a lifetime evening.
Fortune Feimster continues to bring joy and laughter through her use of personal, relatable, and hilarious stories. Seeing her live brings the experience to another level, but there’s no doubt this performance will shine through when released as a Netflix special. Audiences will be sore from laughing and leave smiling. Fortune is truly a ray of light during dark times.
Venue sent a notice to guests saying because of Netflix taping it was important to be on time. They said doors opened at 9 and show started at 9:30. At 9 the line to get in the door wrapped around the building 1.5x and the doors didn't open until 9:10. By the time everyone got through metal detectors and had tickets scanned the bars were closing so most of us didn't get drinks due to long lines. Hard to have a comedy show with no drinks. Not Fortunes fault at all. She was fantastic and her opener was great! Then after show they asked guests to stay for 20 minutes for additional taping ... But we hadn't been able to drink or get through bathroom line before show. Poor logistics.
This show was beyond hilarious! Fortune’s story telling ability is unmatched with this tour. It’s several days later and my cheeks still hurt from laughing so hard. Also cool bonus that we got to be there for the Netflix taping so she was interacting with the audience after and just as funny, and even better bonus: we got to see her dog !
Fortune is one of my favorite comedians. She is incredibly charming and effortlessly funny. Pure joy and laughter to see her shows! Will see her every time she comes my way...
This was a fun show - easy in & out at The Moore. Both opener and headliner were very funny, and we had a great time. Only issue was the sound - it was often difficult to hear both performers. It feels like amplification could have been stronger.
My mom and I love Fortune and have been following her career for years in stand up and in tv series. I splurged and surprised my mom with these tickets, right up front & center! (The third row tickets were an excellent view; we were basically on stage lol.) Definitely did not expect for there to be an opener, let alone two, but they were both absolutely hysterical. Then, of course, Fortune graced us all with her presence and we enjoyed every second, constantly wiping away the ever-flowing tears of laugher. We hope this tour becomes a Netflix special too, so we can re-watch it whenever we want, and the world gets to experience more joy & laugher. Thank you so much, Fortune! We’re already looking forward to your next one!
Fortune has this natural way about her that when she tells you a tale you are along for the ride! She’s easy going - fun and you want to ride shot gun! She has a curious mischevious child like way at viewing the world and you just soooo get it! You can’t help but wish she was your best friend. She wins over her crowds immediately and you root for her! She’s always kind and appreciative of her audiences. She never dissapoints!
It was amazing, great show, so much fun! Was my second time going
Fortune was amazing! After a fantastic opening act with guest Mateo Lane, Fortune took to the stage and slayed the audience with tales about her life, relationships, childhood. All hysterically golden, charming and relatable! And she did it without uttering profanity.
Fortune was everything a comedian should be; funny, good timing, professional and connects to audience. Was great to have a surprise guest - Matteo Lane do a a comedy segment as well. So glad that I was able to get tickets and see her live.
Fortune has really improved her story telling. She’s always been very funny but this set was her best yet. She tied in several bits together which was nearly perfect. Her openers were funny also. Such a great night.
From the opening acts to the headliner this show was hilarious. Fortune is one of my favorites and she did not disappoint. If she comes to your town go and see her.
Fortune was wonderful. All new material and extremely funny. I expected it to be good, but it was even better than I expected. Beacon theater was also wonderful.
This was first but definitely not the last time I see Fortune. She was hilarious and I laughed till it hurt. Always been a fan watching her on RuPaul. No freaking clue I would been crying and snorting. When a comedian can accomplish stomach cramps they are awesome. If I could thank her for giving her audience 90 min of forgetting their struggles I would. Love this show.
Fortune is an amazing human...and a funny one at that! Her stories are relatable and hilarious. Haven't laughed so hard in a while- she provides much needed joy in this crazy world.
Fortune was a GREAT show. She is so funny and entertaining. A wonderful story teller
She’s so funny! Her stories are great and I loved that Ginger was there!
We knew very little about FF. Heard she was funny and had seen her on the Mindy project. She blew us away. My husband watches a lot of comedy and he thought she was up there with the best. Can’t wait to see her again.
