Fortune Feimster

Fortune Feimster is best known for her recent appearance on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" where she was a semi-finalist by day and unicorn tamer by night. She is a regular at the Hollywood Improv and the World Famous Comedy Store, and was recently selected to be a part of the New Faces showcase in the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. When not performing stand-up at clubs and colleges around the country, Fortune is a member of the prestigious Groundlings Sunday Company, which boasts such alumni as Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, and Lisa Kudrow. She is also an accomplished journalist and is a regular contributor to AfterEllen.com. In her spare time, she performs with the sketch comedy and improv groups Gas Money, RDJRJR, and Honorable Discharge – all of whom have performed in various national comedy festivals over the last few years. However, when asked what her greatest achievement is to-date, Fortune would probably have to say her hair. Fortune will be performing at Rooftop's OUTLOUD Comedy Festival October 8th, 2010 in San Francisco, CA. For more information on Fortune, visit www.fortunefeimster.com. www.fortunefeimster.com.

My New York education * CELEB PICK

Taylor Williamson

I met Taylor doing "Last Comic Standing" and he is now one of my favorite up and coming comics. His joke writing is really clever and he has this wonderfully awkward presence. I love this video in particular because it's his own view of the world and nobody sees things like Taylor does. I also owe him some money so hopefully this blurb will make us even.

Jenny Craig's a slut * CELEB PICK

Tig Notaro

I first saw Tig perform in Montreal this summer and I was in complete awe of her as a performer. She has this really laid back approach but her jokes are SO smart. She's one of the few comics I could sit and watch for hours and never get bored. I love her "No Moleste" bit, but I'm picking this video because I can definitely relate to anyone telling a story about having a weird name.

Heckling in troubled times * CELEB PICK

Myq Kaplan

Myq was also on my season of "Last Comic," but I've been a fan of his for a while. He's not your typical tough guy comic who's talking about banging chicks. He's got a unique point of view and a very conversational delivery. I love this video because I don't do a lot of crowd work myself and he basically confirms why it's a terrible idea.

Scoring gym babes * CELEB PICK

Erin Foley

I've been a big fan of Erin's for a long time and not in the gay kind of way. She was one of the first comics I saw perform live in Los Angeles and she absolutely killed me. I think she's one of the most talented comics out there and I can't believe she's not on a sitcom yet. I picked this video because if there are two things I love, it's the gym and hot ladies. Who's with me!?!
