Fortune is a comedian, writer and actor. Her new comedy special, Good Fortune, just released on Netflix (it was filmed in Chicago!) You have seen her previously on Chelsea Lately, The Mindy Project, and her stand-up debut on Last Comic Standing. She also hosts a podcast, “Sincerely Fortune,” with her wife Jacquelyn Smith. Fortune is so funny and sincere. We spoke about:

  • The story behind her name “Fortune”
  • Her Hollywood MIRACLE MOMENT (this is wild!)
  • Why Chelsea Handler believed in her and others who traditionally didn’t get a chance in Hollywood
  • How she handled red carpet interviews with celebrities (she used to be a reporter)
  • Her advice on finding love (it’s beautiful). 
  • How her time living in Spain gave her courage to do anything
  • How the first time she performed on stage she realized what she was meant to do
  • Why it’s crucial to bet on yourself in showbusiness
  • How her mother feels about being in her stand up, loves Hooter’s, and is such an ally to Fortune and the gay community in North Carolina.
