Dating is tough. Dating in your late 30's is really tough. Dating in your late 30's with crippling social anxiety...terrifying. This new dark comedy is about getting out of your head and into the world.
Despite these hurdles, and questionable advice from the worst wingman ever, Troy is ready to take a chance on love. Even if it means falling head over heels into heartbreak.

Don't see it if You are made uncomfortable by watching actors portraying not so likeable and not so normal characters. Language is raunchy and raw.
See it if you enjoy seeing people you know portrayed on the stage. We have all seen these types, their words and actions, and how hurtful they are
Don't see it if you need a big show with big names & lots of action & drama; "slice of life" shows about real and socially awkward people make you uneasy

Don't see it if Toxic masculinity (calling middle aged women “girls,” calling them out of a score of 10,ghosting) doesn’t work even when the women tell them
Also Free ticket from Show Score.

See it if You want to see another show about an awkward guy.
Don't see it if You don't need to see your stereotype confirmed.

See it if There are some funny moments, but just as many sit-com style jokes.

Don't see it if You’re into the confusing artsy productions that seem to be proliferating now
See it if you want to see a 30-something with social anxiety (maybe Aspergers) try to meet women at a bar, ... with brotherly help. A wannabe sit-com.

Don't see it if will be triggered bu people teasing a guy with aspergers. you are sensitive to foul language
