About Rachel Feinstein
Rachel Feinstein is an American actress and stand-up comedian. Feinstein was a finalist on season 7 of Last Comic Standing (2010). In 2011, she released her first comedy album, Thug Tears. In 2014, she appeared on Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents. In 2016, her first comedy special, Only Whores Wear Purple, was released on Comedy Central, and in 2024, her second special, Big Guy, was released on Netflix.
Feinstein was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. Her father, Howard Feinstein, was a civil rights lawyer and a blues musician and her mother, Karen, was a social worker. Feinstein has said that she was a poor student and "barely graduated" high school. She moved to New York City at age 17 with her then-boyfriend, a musician. After breaking up with her boyfriend, Feinstein did some theater first, then started doing open mics, and recalled that the first time she went out at a bar doing a comedy night she bombed wildly.
Feinstein played a comedian performing as herself in the feature film Her Composition (2015), directed by Stephan Littger. In 2016, Feinstein released her first comedy special, Only Whores Wear Purple, produced and presented by Amy Schumer. She subsequently appeared on the HBO series Crashing (2017-2019), and in the comedy series Inside Amy Schumer (2013-2022), and Life & Beth (2022). She has performed sets on Conan, The Tonight Show and The Late Late Show. In September 2018, Feinstein married Peter Brennan, a Battalion Chief of the New York City Fire Department, with fellow comedian Amy Schumer as her maid of honor.
