A meet-cute with a waitress quickly descends into a surrealistic suicide plot, as main character Alex projects all his intimate anxieties into one terrifyingly hilarious relationship. Unrealistic Expectations is a smart, subversive comedy about mental illness and young romance. An in-depth study on depression and suicide shouldn't be this funny. The audience can get ready to have their high expectations met with flying colors!... full review

Unrealistic Expectations tackles the darkest of subject matter with intellect, humor, and grace. Buoyed by solid performances from it’s quartet of actors, and writing replete with pop culture allusions, wry witticisms, and Sorkin-esque repartee, this play delivers on it’s promise — and then some. It’s an honest, moving, thought-provoking, and, yes, hilarious rumination on a young person’s struggle with depression and suicide. You could spend your $10 on another show at Fringe, but you would be sorely mistaken. ... full review

A charming dark comedy about relationships, mental health, and friendships. Witty but heartfelt. If you've found yourself as confused as Tom Hansen about love in (500) Days of Summer, you'll find solace in this play. ... full review
