Matt & Ben is a two-person play written by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers that premiered off-Broadway in 2002. The play imagines a fictional version of how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck came to write Good Will Hunting, with the screenplay mysteriously dropping from the ceiling of their apartment. Both roles were originally played by Kaling and Withers themselves.

The play was one of Kaling’s earliest writing projects and helped launch her career in comedy. It received positive reviews for its absurdist humor and sharp writing, and it remains a popular choice for small theater productions. The play showed Kaling’s comedic voice years before she became known for The Office and The Mindy Project.
