About

Allison Dayne is an actor, writer, and solo-show creator whose work blends sharp comedy with emotional excavation. Her performances sit at the intersection of theatrical storytelling and stand-up, interrogating power, desire, and the roles women are asked to perform both onstage and off. She has performed Off-Broadway and was one of the youngest writers at The Second City in Chicago, where she developed her voice in character-driven comedy and narrative structure.
