Huge fan of Fortune and she didn’t disappoint! She is a great comedian, storyteller and all-out sing-stress extraordinaire!
Loved the show - can’t wait to see her again! We had a fantastic time.
Bought tickets for my family for Christmas. They absolutely loved Fortune! My mom said at one point she was laughing so hard she couldn’t catch her breath. I’m happy to say we’ve created 3 new Fortune fans😉
Both comedians were hilarious! What a great night!
Great time, love the venue. Loved the performer. Nice clean comic a rare find today. Will see Fortune again.
Fortune Feimster put on a great show and her opening comic Caitlin was hilarious too. We really enjoyed it!

Loved our seats, ease of navigating the facility including parking. Fortune, as always was amazing as was Caitlin. Would love you to bring them back again!
She's fantastic! So so funny! Thoroughly enjoyed her show and can't wait for the next one
Loved it!!! The wife and I had a great time… even bigger fans of Fortune after seeing her live. I’m hopeful she goes to bed at night knowing she makes the world a funnier place and puts smiles on faces!!!
Fortune Feimster show was great! Loved her clean comedy. She is an entertaining story teller. She had a great connection with the diverse audience. She stayed on stage at the end of the show talking to audience members and allowing pictures. She was very natural and down to earth. Will watch for her next tour.
Large crowd, but the Theatre seemed to handle the massive crowd well. Most everyone was seated by the time the show began. Hershey Theatre is a beautiful venue. Fortune was a blast!
Excellent opening act as well. Good location, act went off on time, fantastic overall experience.
