Fortune Feimster, the stand-up comedian, writer, and actor known for her Netflix specials and her scene-stealing turn opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in FUBAR, brings her Takin' Care of Biscuits Comedy Tour to ACL Live at the Moody Theater this Sunday, September 13, at 8 p.m. Doors at the downtown Austin venue, located at 310 W. Willie Nelson Blvd., open at 7 p.m. for the 2,750-seat show.
Tickets for the Austin stop range from $37 to $94, according to CultureMap Austin, which first detailed the event listing. As reported by Tribeza, doors open at 7:00 p.m. ahead of the 8:00 p.m. performance. Event organizers have warned that all events are subject to change due to weather or other concerns, and attendees should check with the venue to confirm the show is proceeding as scheduled.
Feimster's Austin date is one stop on her national tour, according to Ticketmaster listings. The comedian has built her stand-up brand around candid humor, laughter, and storytelling meant to foster unity and find common ground among diverse audiences.
A Netflix and Streaming Résumé Years in the Making
Feimster now has three specials streaming on Netflix, capped by her third original hour, Fortune Feimster: Crushing It, which premiered globally on December 3, 2024, expanding a library that already included Sweet & Salty (2020) and Good Fortune (2022), according to TheFutonCritic. Both of her prior Netflix specials earned Critics Choice nominations, the outlet notes. She has also expanded her action-comedy acting career playing CIA operative Roo Russell alongside Schwarzenegger in FUBAR, which has completed production on its second season and marked the actor's first scripted television series.
Feimster's reach extends well past streaming stand-up. She co-hosts the comedy podcast Handsome with Tig Notaro and Mae Martin, which won the Outstanding Podcast award at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in March 2026 and has amassed more than 20 million downloads since launching in 2023. She also co-hosts the daily SiriusXM show What A Joke with Papa and Fortune alongside comedian Tom Papa on the Netflix Is A Joke channel, and she recently voiced the character Nibbles Maplestick in Disney's Zootopia 2, adding to animated credits that include Pixar's Soul and Fox's The Simpsons.
From Chelsea Lately Panelist to Headlining Theaters
Feimster first drew national attention as a writer and roundtable panelist on E!'s late-night talk show Chelsea Lately starting in the early 2010s, a launching pad that later led to roles on The Mindy Project and Champions. That trajectory now puts her onstage at ACL Live, a venue with a maximum capacity of 2,750 seats across three levels that also serves as the recording home of the long-running PBS series Austin City Limits, according to Austin City Limits Live. No seat in the house sits more than 75 feet from the stage.
The Sunday show follows another veteran comic through the same downtown Austin room: Kathleen Madigan played ACL Live the night before, on September 12, as Hoodline previously reported. The venue has also hosted other comedy performances.
Tickets Doubling as a Charity Raffle Prize
Feimster's Austin stop has also tied into local philanthropy. Project Transitions included two tickets to the September 13 performance along with dinner at Serenade in the W Austin Hotel as a raffle prize, highlighting downtown Austin's entertainment and dining district in the process.
With a resume spanning Netflix specials, a Schwarzenegger-led action comedy, an award-winning podcast, daily satellite radio, and major studio animation, Feimster arrives in Austin as one of the more broadly recognizable names to pass through ACL Live this year. Event attendees should check with the venue or organization to ensure the show is taking place as scheduled before heading downtown.
