Netflix Sets Release Date for New Fortune Feimster Comedy Special

Fortune Feimster, the beloved comedian and actress, returns with her third Netflix comedy special, Fortune Feimster: Crushing It, premiering globally on Netflix on December 3, 2024. Following the success of her previous specials, Good Fortune (2022) and Sweet & Salty (2020), both of which received Critics Choice nominations, Fortune continues to deliver her signature blend of humor and heart.

In Crushing It, Fortune shares hilarious stories from her life, including her “romantic” honeymoon with her wife and her reflections on no longer being her mom’s surrogate husband. With her unique comedic perspective and infectious energy, Fortune invites audiences into her world where laughter and love reign supreme.

Directed by Kristian Mercado Figueroa, Fortune Feimster: Crushing It promises to be an unforgettable comedic experience that showcases Fortune's journey as she navigates relationships, personal growth, and the hilarities of everyday life.

Affable, charismatic, and one-of-a-kind, Fortune has captivated audiences through her confessional comedy that brings people together.

In addition to her stand-up, Fortune returned to Netflix in 2023 with the action-comedy series FUBAR, where she stars alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having recently completed filming the second season, she portrays Roo Russell in a captivating story that explores family dynamics against a backdrop of espionage and humor. Feimster can also be heard every morning on Sirius XM with Tom Papa on Netflix’s “What A Joke with Papa and Fortune” radio show.
