The Big Team use audience stories as inspiration for ridiculous improv scenes.

Moments after a bloodcurdling scream disrupts Nick's normally peaceful neighborhood, a frantic knocking at his door triggers events that unknowingly alter his fate forever.

The Big Team (formerly known as White Women) is an improv team of all Black men based in Los Angeles. Formed after meeting at the UCB Black History Month Show in 2013, the team has headlined festivals in Portland, DC, Austin, New York, and beyond — performing at theaters across the country for over a decade. Collectively they have written and produced videos for Comedy Central, College Humor, and Funny or Die. Individually, they’ve written and acted in a lot of your favorite TV shows. Vulture named them on their annual list of “Comedians You Should and Will Know” in 2018. Filmed live at the 2026 Del Close Marathon.
