Some things we keep. Some things keep us.
Acclaimed comedy duo Matt Baram (The Umbrella Academy, Painkiller) and Naomi Snieckus (Pretty Hard Cases, Mr. D) bring their signature mix of storytelling and improvisation to Big Stuff – a hilarious and heartfelt exploration of what we leave behind.
Directed by award-winning playwright Kat Sandler (Mustard, Yaga), this fast-paced two-hander unpacks the emotional and absurd aspects of loss – from basement clutter to memories that linger. With quick wit and sharp chemistry, Baram and Snieckus turn life’s big questions into big laughs.
"Big Stuff more than earns its lofty yet casual title. If there’s any justice in this world, it will tour the country, continent — and world. It could very well become Canada’s answer to a hit like Every Brilliant Thing. Don’t miss it". (5 Stars). -Glenn Sumi
"It's hysterically funny yet they are so vulnerable and courageous! Run, don't walk!". -Jean Stilwell, Classical 96FM
"Big Stuff proves it's a Keeper" -Broadway World
"Big Stuff is one of those pieces of theatre you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life". -Globe and Mail
"Comedy couple masterfully blend improv into must-see show". **** -Next Magazine
