Comedian and actress Fortune Feimster, known for roles in shows like Zootopia 2 and the Netflix series FUBAR, is finally making her way to San Antonio this Friday for two back-to-back shows at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre. Feimster, 45, had to postpone her tour stop in the city twice in the past six months due to her demanding film schedule, but is excited to make it up to fans with new material that dives into nostalgia and stories about her eccentric Southern upbringing.

Why it matters

Feimster's visit to San Antonio is a chance for local comedy fans to see a rising star in the entertainment industry who has built a loyal following through her relatable, family-friendly stand-up. Her postponed tour dates also highlight the challenges comedians face in balancing live performances with increasingly busy on-screen careers.

The details

Along with her stand-up tour, Feimster is currently filming the Netflix action-comedy FUBAR alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and the upcoming comedy Judgement Day with Will Ferrell. The comedian said her new Takin' Care of Biscuits material features a mix of 'funny, silly and earnest conversations,' including more nostalgic stories from her childhood and anecdotes about her 'quirky, eccentric mother.' Feimster is also being more selective about which personal stories she shares, as she navigates changes in her own life.

  • Feimster had to postpone her San Antonio tour stop twice in the past six months.
  • Feimster will perform two shows at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre on Friday, April 17, 2026.
