Comedian and Saturday Night Live cast member Chloe Fineman is turning everyday New York City living and holiday hotel stays into laughs — this time through a creative collaboration that bridges comedy, travel, and personality-driven storytelling.
Best known for her sharp impressions on Saturday Night Live, Fineman is now the voice behind an exclusive holiday bedtime story series available in-room at Moxy Hotels across the United States and Canada. From cozy anecdotes about family drama to laugh-out-loud takes on travel chaos, these original stories are designed to entertain guests during the busiest time of year.
From West Village to Hotel Hallways — A New York Perspective
Living in New York has fundamentally shaped Fineman’s creative choices and brand partnerships. She explains that part of her decision to work with Moxy Hotels was rooted in how organically the concept fit her own lifestyle — from neighborhood visits to late-night city happenings to hosting friends passing through town.
Her narratives lean into holiday mayhem — referencing themes like family dynamics, voyage hiccups, and, uniquely, the soft landing a hotel room can provide when the world feels too hectic. This duality of comedy and comfort became the foundation of the series’s tone.
The Art of Audio-First Storytelling
Rather than a visual sketch, Fineman crafted her bedtime tales exclusively as audio performances — a medium she says forced her to focus intensely on character work, vocal pacing, and verbal nuance. Her years of voiceover experience helped her adapt quickly to this format, building vivid worlds with sound alone.
Among the stories featured in the collection are titles like “The Guilt Trip” et “Merry Peachmas,” each blending holiday tension with heart and humor.
What Inspires the Laughs Behind the Scenes
Offstage, Fineman’s comedic instincts extend to personal interests such as self-care and consumer culture. In interviews, she has said that indulging in foot massages and tracking down the best local relaxation spots are part of her weekend routine in the city, part and parcel of New York living for her.
Her knack for observation and comedic timing continues to be a defining trait, whether navigating the city streets or dialing in a punchline from a rotary phone in a hotel room.
