True Stories. Top Talent. Totally Improvised. The Big Big Show turns New Orleans tales into unpredictable, unforgettable comedy. Every Saturday night at Big Couch, The Big Big Show brings together real stories and top-tier improv comedy. Each show incorporates with a true tales from a local guests — an artist, bartender, musician, teacher, business owner, your eccentric neighbor. Inspired by that story’s heart, humor, and chaos, our cast of fearlessly funny improvisers turns truth into hilarity, crafting scenes that are unpredictable and unforgettable. Yes, this is a weekly show. But, every show features a new storyteller, a new cast, and, therefore, totally new reasons to laugh! Rooted in improv and infused with the rhythm and personality of New Orleans, this is a show that celebrates the city’s collective voice — one story and one scene at a time. Check our social media for this week’s guest! Big Couch is a BYOB venue, so free to stop at your favorite neighborhood bar or store for your drinks. We have concessions with soft drinks and snacks and plenty of room to lounge and chat.
