“Baram and Snieckus are as much fun as you can have without taking your clothes off.” —Toronto Star
Comedy duo—and married couple—Matt Baram (Umbrella Academy, The Apprentice Movie) and Naomi Snieckus (Mr., Handmaid’s Tale) invite you to Big Stuff, a funny, generous, and surprisingly moving exploration of the objects we hold onto—and the memories we’re afraid to lose.
Directed by award-winning playwright Kat Sandler (Yaga, Anne of Green Gables), this fast-paced two-hander unpacks the emotional and absurd aspects of loss – from basement clutter to memories that linger.
With a style of humour honed at Second City and comedy clubs around the world, they turn everyday “things” into portals to love, loss, and identity. She wants to keep everything. He wants to throw it all away. Is she sentimental? Is he heartless? Or are they both just trying to make sense of what we carry with us—and why?
Big Stuff asks a simple question: What would you keep, and what would you let go?
