How were your first few shows?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Fortune Feimster:<\/strong> The hardest part about stand up comedy is having enough material to fill the time because when you first start out you\u2019re only doing 3-5 minute sets and then when you headline you have to do 45 minutes to an hour. So while it seems when you\u2019re watching stand up comedy that everything kind of comes naturally and that the jokes freely flow, it takes forever to build up that material and really make it work. I think in the beginning you\u2019re just struggling to find your voice. But I\u2019ve definitely had some shows early on where I wasn\u2019t sure how I was going to fill out that whole time but luckily I come from improv so I was able to talk to the audience a lot. Any time I didn\u2019t have a lot of material I would ask questions of the audience and have a lot of back-and-forth which is something I still do because I enjoy talking to my audiences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AFM: What would you say is something about the world of comedy that people may not know?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FF:<\/strong> I think anytime you see anyone on stage performing you just kind of think that everything is very glamorous and that life is some big party. But when you\u2019re a road comic and you\u2019re on the road every weekend it\u2019s pretty exhausting. You\u2019ll do shows for these big audiences and have a great time and meet everybody, but then you go back to your hotel room and it\u2019s usually just you and you\u2019re watching Netflix and eating in restaurants by yourself and it\u2019s a very lonely job. We\u2019re lucky to be doing what we love but there is a little isolation to it when you\u2019re off stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>AFM: I know working for <i>Chelsea Lately<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> was one of your first big projects. Can you tell me what it was like being able to write for the show and work with Chelsea?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FF:<\/strong> I loved it. Writing for her was my first big break. I had actually been an entertainment journalist for seven years before that. That was kind of my day job that I did while I was pursuing comedy and it was kind of all pop culture-centered. So when I got hired at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chelsea Lately<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I didn\u2019t realize how much the two worlds would intertwine. All the writing I had done really came in handy because we were writing about pop culture constantly. But to learn how to write for an actual television show was a huge gift for me. It opened my world up a lot and her show was the first show I started headlining so it opened up my stand up world and introduced me to audiences for the first time. It was nothing but positive for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Chelsea was always really good to me. When she hired me I was at a point where so many people had turned me down and didn\u2019t really understand my voice and they didn\u2019t really get my sense of humor. I could barely even get an agent at that point. She was one of the first people that saw it and got it, and once she gave me that stamp of approval, other people that had never paid attention to me before all of a sudden were like \u2018oh yeah we\u2019ve always thought she was funny.\u2019 It\u2019s funny how that works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AFM: You wear many hats, from writer and actor, to stand up comedian and producer and even appearing as yourself. What is your favorite role to take on and why?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FF:<\/strong> I love so many of them for so many different reasons. I think the whole reason I started wearing so many hats was because I learned early on that you have to make your own opportunities out here. When I was coming up, it wasn\u2019t a time when looking different and being different was awarded so I knew that if I was going to be an actor I was going to have to write a show that starred me. I knew if I was going to be a stand up comedian that I would have to write my own material that showed my voice. So I started wearing all those hats out of necessity and showing people what I could do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love standup because it\u2019s live and I meet so many amazing people on the road. You get that immediate feedback so you can tell right away if what you\u2019re doing is working. But I\u2019ve also come to really love acting in a way I never thought I would. I\u2019ve really loved digging into new characters. I feel like I grew a lot during <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mindy Project<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as an actor and it\u2019s taught me so much. And now I\u2019m doing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Champions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and I\u2019m really hoping to explore other roles at different times. I\u2019d like to play in something like a dark comedy at some point. I\u2019d like to branch out and challenge myself to play some different roles that people might not think of me in otherwise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AFM: Who have been some of your favorite actors or comedians to work with over the years?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FF:<\/strong> I\u2019ve worked with a lot of amazing women. Men too, but I find that the women have been the ones that have given me my biggest breaks; Chelsea Handler, and Tina Fey was a big one. She helped me alot in my transition from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chelsea Lately<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to acting. She cast me in a pilot called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cabot College<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which was my first professional acting gig aside from a few guest star roles. She was also the producer on my own pilot that I wrote so I learned so much from her. And she doesn\u2019t just put her name on a project; she\u2019s involved, hands on, giving notes and just an amazing person to watch. And then Mindy [Kaling] has been incredible to get to work with. And all three of them [Handler, Fey, Kaling] are ones that create their own material and act; they\u2019re multifaceted, they\u2019re running big companies, they\u2019re hiring a lot of people. I don\u2019t think Mindy sleeps; she\u2019s constantly writing and creating things and she\u2019s so smart. I\u2019ve really loved not only working with these people, but also seeing how they handle themselves in this business has been invaluable to me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AFM: Who can make you laugh? Who are some of your favorite comedians?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FF:<\/strong> One of my favorite people to work with was Ike Barinholtz on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mindy Project<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He is hands down one of the funniest people as an actor and in real life. He has so many stories, knows so many things and he\u2019s always got something really funny and interesting to talk about. He cracks me up I think more than anybody. I\u2019ve been doing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Champions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Anders Holm and he really surprised me because of all the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workaholics<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> guys, he\u2019s always been the quieter one in life and I was really blown away by how quick he is on his feet. I didn\u2019t realize he worked in the writer\u2019s room for a lot of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workaholics<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> episodes and he is just a really smart, funny guy and I don\u2019t know that people know the extent of his wit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AFM: What can fans expect to experience in your upcoming shows in Phoenix?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FF:<\/strong> I\u2019m excited to come to Phoenix because I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve performed there since 2012. It\u2019s been a long time and that was my second year into <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chelsea Lately<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so even though I was doing well in the comedy world and I had established myself as a headliner, I feel like I\u2019ve grown so much in the last six years. I\u2019m excited to share my comedy with everybody and I feel like my stand up is very much more based in positivity and storytelling and it\u2019s light and fun. There\u2019s so much negativity going on in the world right now; so many people are divided and I just want to provide a space for everyone. It doesn\u2019t matter what your background is, what your political beliefs are, gay or straight, it doesn\u2019t matter. I want to be a stand up for everybody and tell stories that are relatable to everyone. And you can come to my show and forget about all the crazy stuff going on in life and just laugh, have a good time and not worry about anything. So that\u2019s what I want to bring to the good folks of the Phoenix and Scottsdale area. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After breaking out on Chelsea Lately as a writer and performer Fortune Feimster starred in The Mindy Project and currently appears as Ruby on Champions, among countless other projects.
