Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning, I've got Fortune and Fienster on the phone,
and you might be saying, who is that? And I said,
you know what, last time you were on Netflix and
you were scrolling through your recommended you probably saw her
Netflix special pop up. Hi, thanks for popping on to Tiff.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
In the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Hi, kis good to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, you're coming from California, but you'll be in Cincinnati
this November, and girl, I'm excited for you to come.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I'm excited too. I love the Task Theater, I love
coming to Cincinnati, so I'm excited to bring this whole
new hour to see you.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Guys, you kind of walk me through how comedy works.
Are you testing out new material for maybe another Netflix
or another show, or it's just just random stuff that
you've written in the past year.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
What are we expecting here?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So every tour is about a year and a half
to two years long, and at the end of that
tour a film a special. So far, I've done three
our specials for Netflix. So this is in the early
stages of this new tour. So if anyone saw my
last special, crushing it, this is all new stuff and
it's a whole hour of stories about my life and
(01:13):
some childhood stories. It's a little nostalgic and fun and
silly and relatable. And that set just kind of evolved
as I go, and then later on next year it
will become essentially my fourth stand up special.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Cool when that four girl heck yeah yeah. Comedy is
one of those things in voice acting, which you've also
been involved in, is one of those things that feels
so cool and so untouchable for me. When you are unreachable, unattainable,
I should say, when you're kind of living your everyday life,
(01:49):
do you find yourself like writing little random notes down
of like, oh that might be funny, let me explore it.
Or do you find yourself practicing different voices or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
More ideas that I write down in my little note
section of my phone, anything that happens that kind of
stands out, or any funny story, I'll write it down,
just because you know, you think there's something here. I
don't want to forget about this. And then when I
start looking to build material, going to that note staff
and see what all I've written down to see if
(02:21):
there's any anything more to explore there but it's more
of like characters and stuff for voices. I mean, my
voice is pretty distinct, and I've had this accent, the
Southern accept for my whole life, even though I've lived
in California for twenty two years. Yeah, so that's just
me kind of playing myself. I'm doing a Utopia too,
(02:44):
which is coming out around Thanksgiving, so it'll be funny
to see this voice behind the beaver totally Nibbles, that's
my character's name.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Oh that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh, I love that we will be Since your your
taft stop is the first or second week in November,
we'll probably be one of the later ones that you
hit before Zootopia two comes out, so that'll be kind
of cool.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, I've got I've got a Utopia two, Gabby's Dollhouse,
and Paul Patrol three coming out, So I've been doing
a lot of voiceover stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh, I'm so jealous. It's one of my dreams to explore.
I love reading about different people and how they got
into it and you know what they you know what
voices they use, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So very cool.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
When you are writing material, where do you feel kind
of most inspired to get your best stuff? Like, are
you are you at home writing, are you at a
coffee shop on the road at night?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Usually I'm at home. I kind of treat it like
an assignment, like it's homework, So I'll just kind of
dig in in my office. Sometimes I'll go to a
coffee shop if I find myself, like, you know, way
too distracted on the internet, which definitely happens, my my
add kicks in. But you know, there's nothing like pressure about,
(04:05):
you know, starting a stand up tour that will make you,
you know, get it done. So that's really what lights
the fire under my butt is when I know that
tickets are run on sale and people are coming. So
then I go, all right, let's let's get to it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
You had mentioned ADHD.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I have one of them too, So being neurodivergent, you know,
it's like kind of that, Oh my god, the.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Tour starts next week.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I should probably write down some material for sure, Like
I said.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Ever evolving, and as I go, I some some stories,
I'll pull out some I'll try new stuff, or I'll
punch stuff up as I go, so it never ends.
I'm always tweaking, uh.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That if you're just walking into this fortune Feaster on
TI in the morning, she's getting ready. Well, she's out
on tour, but her Cincinnati date isn't until November. I'm
grateful that you popped by the show there. So you
had mentioned that you had ADHD. When you're on stage performing,
does it ever hit you and you're like, I have
(05:07):
no idea where I was going and what I was
talking about, because that's a daily occurrence for me on
this show.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah. I would say it's a stand up because I
do it so often. It's all memorization. It's more like
when I'm on zoom like meetings and stuff like that,
where my brain will just start to go wherever, so
I just have to reel it in. But on stage,
I'm pretty dolled in. There's a thing that stand ups
(05:35):
kind of training your brain to do, where you're telling
a story, but your brain is thinking about what the
next story is. So you're always kind of doing a dual.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Situation up there, multitasking and its finest. Yeah, I've got
one more question for you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know, I always like, just in case I'm catching
someone that's turning over a new leaf for a new
chapter in their life and they're said, hey, I want
to try something new, or if I happen to be
catching maybe a younger a younger gen Z listening and
they want to try comedy, is there a piece of
advice you would maybe offer for somebody that I'm catching
this morning?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You know, I started with improv. I think that's a
really great way to dip your toe into comedy. It's
a lot more inviting than like say, stand up, and
it's a team kind of thing. It just helps you
like get more comfortable on stage and you know, not
really judge yourself. You just allow yourself to be silly.
(06:32):
And I highly recommend improv to anyone, not only people
interested in comedy. It's a good way to learn to communicate.
And then, you know, if you do want to do
stand ups, it's a lot of writing, it's a lot
of observing, and then you just have to do it.
There's no magic formula to it. You just have to
get on stage and start talking. So I encourage anyone
(06:55):
that's interested just to try.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well, thanks so much for the time.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Fortune Femestur has got a laundry list of things that
you would recognize her from, including crushing her Netflix special,
and then she's got Zutopia two coming out later on
this year. You can catch her at the Taft later
on this year in November. A great gift to maybe
buy someone as we head into the back half.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Of the year. Thank you so much for stopping by
Tip in the morning.
