Lily Lester: Comedian in New York

About Lily Lester

Lily Lester is a New York–based performer and theater-maker whose work moves between acting, singing, and devised performance. Trained in contemporary theater practice, she has appeared in plays and new works presented at small and midsize New York City venues, often in ensembles where text and music share the frame. Her roles tend to favor character detail and clean storytelling over spectacle. In rehearsal and performance, she approaches material like reportage, staying close to what the scene can prove.
