BIG STUFF
Written and Created by Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus
Directed and Co-Created by Kat Sandler
A Baram and Snieckus Production
An Arts Club Presentation
Married comedy duo Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus, directed by co-creator Kat Sandler, light up the stage and invite you to explore life’s Big Stuff. Using their singular brand of improvised storytelling—shaped by time at the Second City and comedy clubs worldwide—they debate the sentimental power of the objects our loved ones leave behind. She wants to keep everything. He wants to throw it all away. Their comedic chemistry and razor-sharp repartee will have you laughing as you decide who’s right.
Fresh off a triumphant, sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Canada’s Big Stuff comes to the Arts Club riding a wave of international acclaim.
Our most intimate venue, Olympic Village Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre, is back for a full season of curtain calls! Indulge in this 3-show series from $70!
