Fortune Feimster’s memories of her previous visit to Mobile would seem a little fanciful if this wasn’t Fortune Feimster we’re talking about. And if it wasn’t Mobile.

“When people ask me about my last tour, if there were any places that really surprised me or any shows that really stood out, that show always comes to mind,” said comedian Feimster, who’ll return to the Mobile Saenger Theatre on Thursday, April 20. “Because I had not ever been to Mobile before and I honestly did not know what to expect.”

She and the comedian opening for her, Dusty Slay, had dinner before the show. From the sound of it, they picked a spot on Dauphin Street.

“People in the restaurant were coming to the show, and they were very nice and very welcoming,” she said. “And we were like, ‘This is off to a great start.’ We left dinner and the theater wasn’t that far, so we were like, ‘Let’s just walk up the street to the theater.’ So, people were popping out of restaurants and stopping in their cars and coming up to us on the sidewalk. It was like a little mini-parade to the theater, and I have never experienced anything quite like it.”

For some comedians it wouldn’t be a plausible scenario. For others it wouldn’t even be a tenable one. For Feimster it seems almost inevitable. It helps to know that one of the things she hopes people take away from shows is simply the feeling “that they were hanging out with a friend, and the friend made them laugh.”

That’s certainly the vibe on her two Netflix specials, 2020′s “Sweet and Salty” and this year’s “Good Fortune.” “Sweet and Salty” focus more on her youth as a husky, misfit Southern “tomboy” who would take years to figure out her identity. (Feimster came out as a lesbian well after college, at 25. “It would be quite a few years before I realized I was gay,” she says in one memorable bit that refers to her mop of blonde curls. “Which is bonkers, because I have had this haircut since I was five years old. My hair knew I was gay, I didn’t.”)

“Good Fortune” moves on to her engagement and the pandemic. It’s all served up as emotional comfort food. Her storytelling follows a relatable theme: To be alive is to be born into absurdity, and learning to see the humor in it is one way to make sense of the world.

Anyway, she had a good time in Mobile back in November 2021 and she’s looking forward to a repeat.

“When people ask me about my last tour, if there were any places that really surprised me or any shows that really stood out, that show always comes to mind,” she said. “Because I had not ever been to Mobile before and I honestly did not know what to expect.”

“It truly was one of the biggest highlights of my last tour, so I’m excited to get back.”

Fans will be happy to hear that since the release of “Good Fortune,” she’s been working steadily on new material. She likes to do one classic bit that people ask for, but other than that she’s moving on.

“This will be a totally different show,” she said. “I’ve been working hard since October putting the set together. I’m telling a lot of fun stories about where I’m at now in life, about being married. I talk a lot about my mom. People seem to like these stories because I’m getting back to the silliness.”

“This show is very interactive,” she said. ” I’m doing a lot of back-and-forth with the audience.”

“‘Good Fortune’ left off with me having gotten married and settling into that,” she said. “This starts off right where that leaves off and starts with our honeymoon. I talk about what happened on that, being married and the idiosyncrasies of that. … It’s definitely a reflection of where I’m at currently.”

Don’t be surprised if she dips back into her well of childhood stories, like her previous tale of recess back in the day: Teachers smoking, enjoying some “me” time as barely-supervised kids rolled down a hillside in old tires. It sounds like the kind of meme that nostalgic Gen Xers have taken to sharing, but Feimster said she isn’t necessarily aiming for a specific demographic.

“I’m in that weird, exact space between Millennial and Gen X,” she said. “I don’t even know what the word is. I feel like everything has a word. I’m not like a full Gen Xer and I’m definitely not a full millennial, so we have a little bit to draw from.”

Let’s not give the impression that Feimster simply moves from one tour and Netflix special to the next. She’s amassed an impressive list of credits in TV, animation voiceovers, movies and other formats, and she’s continually adding to the pile.

“I’m always doing something,” she said. “I’m not the kind of person that kind of comes home from tour and twiddles my thumbs. I like to have a lot of irons in the fire. I just like doing a lot of different types of things. I do a radio show with the comedian Tom Papa, it’s four days a week and it’s for Netflix on Sirius XM. So every morning I’m in my office doing that two-hour radio show, so it’s a big part of my life. I’m always trying to do different acting projects. I’m obviously a very specific type, so it’s not something that I’m doing every week. But when the right part comes along, it’s really fun to dig into that.”

Upcoming appearances include voiceover work in an adaptation of the “Frog and Toad” children’s books, and a part in a Jennifer Garner movie titled “Family Leave.”

“It’s the same group of people who did that movie ‘Yes Day’ that I was a part of, so it was fun to bounce back into that world with them,” she said. “And my biggest project coming is this big comedy-action series [titled “Fubar”] with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’ll come out on Netflix May 25th. It’s an eight-episode TV series where I play a CIA agent, it’s a completely different experience. I’m doing some comedy but I’m doing a lot of action, so I can’t wait for people to see that.” You won’t have any trouble spotting her in the teaser trailer.

But before Mobile-area fans see all that, they get another chance to see her in person. And if there’s one thing they know to expect, it’s for Feimster to be herself.

“I think comedy reflects who you are as a person,” she said. “I don’t find that I’m a polarizing person. I’m easygoing. I like to make friends, I like to make people happy, I like to make people laugh.”

“I’m not into dividing people or being negative or making fun of people,” she said. “If anything, I make fun of myself. I’m just there to tell my stories and hope that people find them relatable. I try to keep things on a more positive vibe because there’s just so much negativity going on, in every corner of our world. If you want to find it, it’s there. It’s everywhere. I’m just like, why not provide a little tiny break from that? I want people to come to my shows and feel better. I want them to leave not thinking about how stressful the earlier part of their day was.”

Fortune Feimster appears at the Mobile Saenger Theatre on Thursday, April 20. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are available through Ticketmaster outlets, including the Saenger box office. Prices start at $25 plus fees.
