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.

LISA'S NOTE
"The moment I saw this show, I knew I had to share it with everyone I love. It’s the kind of laughter that catches in your throat, the kind of joy that stays with you. See it here first before the rest of the country falls in love with it too."
