⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Comedy gold."

Unrealistic Expectations is an entertaining, slightly chaotic evening of impromptu speaking games designed to help you practise action over certainty.

6:30 Networking

8:00 Networking + Drinks

Why we do this
Entrepreneurs are often told their ideas are unrealistic.
Too big. Too early. Too hard. This night is for people who feel that fear and want to build the courage to act before they have all the answers.

Volunteers get 3-5 minutes to talk on wacky topics:

  • Pitching a slide deck they have never seen before
  • Taking questions from the audience on a topic they know nothing about
  • Being handed a random object from the office and explaining your "revoulutionary discovery"
  • Explaining a graph that has no numbers or legend
  • More "fun" and chaotic games to come...

Spectators get front row seats to:

  • Brave attempts and clever recoveries
  • Watch brilliance appear under pressure
  • The exact moment someone realises they are more capable than they thought
  • And...comedy gold!

🎲 How the night works
Some people will step up. Some people will sit back and enjoy the show. Both are welcome. You don’t have to participate but most people end up tempted as the night goes on.

We’ll rotate through a variety of short games across the evening. Each one stretches a different entrepreneurial muscle:

• Thinking out loud
• Explaining half-formed ideas
• Handling pressure
• Committing before certainty

😉At the end of the night, one brave participant will receive a completely meaningless but highly coveted honour.

👀 Who this is for
• People building something and tired of waiting until they feel ready
• Anyone who wants to build the courage to act before they have clarity

You don’t need confidence
You don’t need experience
You just need a willingness to give-it-a-go

Because most worthwhile things start with unrealistic expectations.
