Character Select New York Performances

Character Select is a live comedy show presented at The Stand NYC, framed like a quick tour through voices, personas, and shifting points of view. Featured performers include Kyle Lewis, Kyle Dunnigan, Greg Fitzsimmons, and Jim Florentine, each working in the club tradition where a room’s mood becomes part of the material. No specific NYC premiere history is widely documented, but it fits a long city pattern: stand-up as a nightly record of local anxieties and overheard language. The format’s strength is its immediacy, though that same looseness can make the line between character and commentary blur.
