LISTEN, STUPID (DETROIT, MI)
Listen, Stupid hails from the mean streets of Detroit. Well, actually the nicely paved streets of the suburbs, but they still bring the city’s hustle and honesty to every show. Nuverre Naami and Tom Novik have been performing together since 2013 and are often asked by audiences how long they’ve been best friends. It’s sweet and a little awkward, but speaks to their strong connection on stage. They’ve performed in shows, events, and festivals across the US and Canada. This duo loves to play all kinds of characters while patiently exploring and showcasing everyday relationships and encounters.
