Big Stuff

November 25 to December 7, 2025

written and created by Matt Baram & Naomi Snieckus
co-created and directed by Kat Sandler
starring Matt Baram & Naomi Snieckus
a Baram and Snieckus production

Married comedy duo Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus invite you to join them as they explore some Big Stuff. Using their unique style of humour, shaped by their time at The Second City and in comedy clubs around the world, Baram and Snieckus debate the sentimental power of objects.

She wants to keep everything. He wants to throw it all away! Is she a pack rat? Is he a monster? This hilarious and highly addictive couple wants you to decide. 

“Baram and Snieckus are as much fun as you can have without taking your clothes off”. - Toronto Star.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll never look at your stuff the same way.


Theatre Critic Glenn Sumi called this show ‘transcendent’ and ‘miraculous’, saying “nothing prepared me for the range of emotions and the artful mixture of laughs and tears conjured up in Big Stuff.” It was held over for two additional weeks in its Toronto run, and appeared in several “best theatre of 2024” lists, including The Globe and Mail and Intermission Magazine.
