About the Show

Character Night is NYC's best showcase for bold, hilarious, and wildly original solo characters, impressions, and bits. From some of the city's sharpest and most-driven comedic minds in the city, Character Night is packed with big choices, big laughs, and sometimes a big mess.

Improv, Here Comes A Silly One), Jake Lucas (BoogieManja), James Koroni (The PIT x SNL Scholarship, GIPHY's Creator, BoogieManja), Jules Starn (UCB Betty, Characters Welcome, Cracked’s Totally Real Interviews, The Character Annex, Head of Video Production at Abracadabra NYC), Julia Schroeder (The Tonight Show, Screamboat, Time To Kill), & Mercedes Hesselroth (Characters Welcome, Ninjas Assemble).
