Fortune is one in a million. She is so funny. I love her life stories and story telling type of routine. Not a bunch of random small jokes all over the place. She gets you invested and leads your through the lost relatable, funny events. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
Such a great and unforgetable experience. My second time at the Factory, the floor seats were nice and wide and comfortable. Staff was very helpful, gluten free snacks available. Fortune was hilarious and so was her opener, next time she is in town, don't miss her!
this was my first Fortune show and it was pure joy, my face hurt from smiling and laughing for the whole show. So worth all the hassle of seeing a live performance!
Absolutely amazing time! Fortune is brilliant and talented!
I enjoy her comedy and was looking forward to seeing her live for my birthday. I didn't find the show as funny as I was anticipating. I think I LOL more watching her Netflix special. So I was a little disappointed. I thought the stories she told and the interaction with the audience was cute.
Laughed so hard. It was a great evening out with my bestie. Fortune is fab!!!
The stories/jokes that Feimster told were so good! The only bummer was the sounds quality of the Opener Sarah Buddle. We could only hear about half of what she said, which was still funny, but wished we could have heard the rest. Fortune's mic sounds was perfect and clear.
Great show! Second time seeing Fortune and both shows were very funny
Some pretty funny bits, but overall was just generally ok.
This was the greatest! I laughed during the whole thing. She seemed so in her element, it was a true pleasure to watch!
Fortune was an amazing delight and the venue was beautiful.
Fortune came through and was so entertaining! Laughed so much breathing was secondary! Not a fan of the warm up comedian....sad to say she got no laughs from me or the surrounding crowd. Too busy laughing at herself...annoying more than remotely funny.
This was the best appearance I’ve seen at the Steven Tanger location. John Mellancamp comes in a close second! Fortune was funny which everybody needs in this crazy world we’re living in. Her opening act was great as well. It was a fun, fun, fun evening and I think everyone there had a fabulous time!!
Such a fun night! Fortune is an amazing entertainer and it was so fun to have her mom Ginger in the audience too. Lucky enough to have meet and greet tickets and the opportunity to thank Fortune for bringing joy to the world.
Fortune Feimster is one of the most hilarious comedians I've heard in a long time. She has perfect timing of her jokes and is so relatable since she is from my home state of North Carolina. I respect that she's very down to earth, taking the time to shake hands and speak to members of her audience. Love her!!
I was a bit disappointed. I love Fortune Feimster and was excited to see her in NC, the Land of Biscuits. Her set was only 45 mins followed by a brief and unserious Q&A. By that I mean she flipped through and largely dismissed questions the audience had submitted. I think she should skip that bit moving forward. The questions weren’t serious, or weren’t ones she (or any sane person) would answer on stage. To wrap up, she retold a story about coming out to her family. A clip of her telling that story has been on YouTube for several years. I was also disappointed by the audience. I sat near the stage and there were several older women seated beside and behind me who kept interrupting her set. They were superfans who really, really wanted her attention and a little crowd work. I expected a bit more, such as a longer (60+ mins) and more organized set, and more respectful fans. Fortune says polite manners are the things she misses most living in LA. I expected more for her here.
Fortune puts on a great show! It's almost like your best friend up there telling you about life and making it hilarious. My group thoroughly enjoyed our time with Fortune, including meeting her after the show.
Awesome show engaging stories and dialogue…great improv on submitted notes and wonderful meet and greet
Fortune was amazing and everything I thought it would be. I wish she could develop a new set faster as I would totally go more often!
Fortune is hilarious She shares her real life stories in a way that will have you laughing so hard A must see Thank you for an amazing date night 💗
