Crushing It

Fortune Feimster returns with her signature sunny, self-deprecating demeanor, finding comedy in her transition from her mother’s default companion to a newly married woman. She jokes about finally stepping down as her mom’s surrogate husband now that she has her own wife, though her honeymoon was far from a traditional romantic getaway. Taped at the Moore Theatre in Seattle and released on Netflix in late 2024, the special caps a busy period for Feimster, who was also co-hosting the podcast Handsome and starring in the action-comedy series Fubar. Under the direction of Kristian Mercado, the set maintains her usual easygoing energy while touching on slightly more political elements than her previous hours, Sweet & Salty and Good Fortune. Still, the bulk of the hour thrives on low-stakes absurdity, like her desperate hunt for fast-food breakfast biscuits and her refusal to wear anything but her trusty ‘lesbian swimsuit,’ which she defines as an oversized T-shirt and cutoff sweatpants.
