Comedian Fortune Feimster Coming to Palm Springs

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Acclaimed actress, comedian, writer, and podcast host Fortune Feimster is expanding her highly successful national stand-up comedy tour with a series of new stops across the country, including a highly anticipated performance in the Coachella Valley. Feimster is scheduled to bring her "Takin' Care of Biscuits" tour to the historic Plaza Theatre in downtown Palm Springs on Sunday, November 8, 2026, promising an evening filled with her signature Southern charm, relatable storytelling, and sharp observational wit.
Local fans will have multiple opportunities to secure seating before tickets open to the general public. The exclusive artist presale begins tomorrow, Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time, and eager comedy fans can access early ticketing by using the special promotional code "BISCUITS". Additional localized presale events will continue to run throughout the week to accommodate demand ahead of the official general public ticket release, which is scheduled to kick off on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time through the venue's official digital box office.
Feimster's upcoming desert appearance comes during a remarkably busy period in her multi-faceted entertainment career. On the silver screen, she recently wrapped production on the highly anticipated Netflix film "The Fifth Wheel" alongside an all-star cast featuring Kim Kardashian, Nikki Glaser, and Brenda Song. She is also slated to star opposite Will Ferrell in "Hawk," a brand-new golf comedy series scheduled to premiere on Netflix this July. Voice acting enthusiasts may also recognize her distinct comedic timing from Disney's major animated blockbuster "Zootopia 2," where she lent her voice to the character Nibbles.
Beyond her cinematic and television roles, Feimster remains a powerhouse in stand-up comedy and digital media. Her latest acclaimed comedy special, "Fortune Feimster: Crushing It," recently debuted on Netflix, building on the critical success of her previous hour-long performances, "Good Fortune" and "Sweet & Salty," both of which secured prestigious Critics Choice Award nominations. On the audio front, she continues to co-host the wildly popular podcast "Handsome" with fellow comedians Tig Notaro and Mae Martin, which took home the award for Outstanding Podcast at the annual GLAAD Media Awards earlier this spring. Tickets for the upcoming local engagement, produced by independent live entertainment promoter Outback Presents, are expected to see high demand given Feimster's track record of selling out regional theatre spaces.
