*A GREAT BIG SIGH*
The world outside is (probably) falling apart. Walter has no friends and Tina desperately wants to survive: nothing could possibly be spookier. In this riotous comedy we see these two strangers trapped with nothing but a few clues they must solve together in order to escape this flabbin’ heckin’ basement!
*A GREAT BIG SIGH* is a new comedy show by Moose & Noodle Soup co-written by founders, Maryhee Yoon and Riley Marinelli. It first premiered in July 2019 at The Hope Theatre London, and enjoyed a second successful run at The Hen & Chickens Theatre London in Sept 2019.

“Although Moose & Noodle Soup’s mission is to create ‘hilarious theatre’ – very laudable – A Great Big Sigh is far more than 50 minutes of ‘ridiculous jokes’ and ‘delicious comedy’. It’s tinged with great sadness. Laugh, yes, but don’t forget to cry.”

“Fifty minutes of joy that’s well worth catching.”
