When he found out his younger brother had just committed suicide, Aditya had the same first thought we all do: how do I write a joke about this? Recounting his story in both hilarious and heart-wrenching detail, Aditya Mayya Pretends to Be Sad is an hour-long exploration of being earnest from someone allergic to sincerity. A tragicomic solo show for people who've seen a thousand tragicomic solo shows, this is an hour that both celebrates and satirizes the Fringe staple that we all know and love.
