Don’t know who Fortune Feimster is? You will soon. The late-night comedian has been steadily on the rise since her television debut on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, where she walked away as a semi-finalist. Since then, she has become a full-time writer and roundtable contributor to Chelsea Handler’s hit E! talk show, Chelsea Lately. Thanks to jokes about her hypothetical job at Hooters and an ability to contort her face to look uncannily like Honey Boo Boo, Feimster has quickly been gaining the laughs and recognition she deserves in her stand-up.

Feimster performs at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Friday, May 16, and at 7 and 10 p.m. Saturday, May 17, at Tempe Improv, 930 East University Drive. General admission to this 21-and-over show is $20 with a two-drink minimum. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.tempeimprov.com or call 480-921-9877.

Fri., May 23, 7:30 & 10 p.m., 2014
