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!...

Unrealistic Expectations tackles the darkest of subject matter with intellect, humor, and grace.

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. ...
