Character Night at Magnet Theater

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.
