SHE DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER
TURNS OUT, THE MANAGER WAS HER
YOU MAY FEEL EXTREMELY SEEN
For the unhinged mum group chats, the carers, the managers, the eldest daughters, and anyone who has ever typed “haha all good x” while their life was falling spectacularly apart.
If five minutes alone in the car counts as a micro-holiday, this show is for you
about DAYNA
WRITER. PERFORMER. VICTORIAN POETRY SLAM CHAMPION. FINDER OF ODD SOCKS.
Dayna Fallon is a Melbourne writer and performer who turns invisible labour, female fury and the indignities of family life into sharp, big-hearted comedy.
She is the 2025 Victorian Poetry Slam Champion and a National Finalist, performing at the Sydney Opera House.
Offstage, Dayna leads workplace change, mothers three daughters and cares for a husband with complex health needs, which has given her extensive, unpaid experience in crisis management.
Her debut solo theatre show, The Manager Is Me, transforms the poems that established her voice into a blisteringly funny reckoning with being the person everyone needs especially when you need someone too.
