DALIN Oliver recently turned 30 and noticed how people seem to expect him to have it all together when in actual fact, it’s all falling apart.
“Not literally, okay sometimes, but figuratively, mostly, because each day leads to more challenges and confusion about how to survive in the “big world”.
“Adulting is soooooo hard people,” he said while chatting about his show which he will perform for two nights in Durban before heading home to Cape Town for an extended season at the Baxter Theatre.
He claims that he was given no heads up to help prepare him. No one warned him about the panic he’ll experience at the end of the month when debit orders decide to visit…
Or about the stress of moving out and living on your own because you want to be independent. Independent in this case loosely translates to no home-cooked food until further notice, forgetting to take dirty washing to the laundry and learning that flats don’t come fully furnished.

Somehow, he was never sent the memo on how to deal with parents who are experiencing empty nest syndrome because their youngest has decided to spread his wings and start figuring out life on his own.
Oliver’s signature nostalgic story-telling comedic style is always a delight. This time featuring life hacks and stories that just might feel a little too familiar. He has kindly decided to have the show run over a payday period in order for Durbanites to live their best life before all the SMSs begin to remind them of money moving out of their bank account.
Tickets are only R100 per person, so you can afford to enjoy yourself and laugh away your troubles for less than the cost of a round at the pub after work.
Even better news for Highway Mail readers is that three lucky people will win a pair of tickets each to treat themselves and a friend to the show. See the entry form below to enter.
This competition is now closed....
Entries close at midnight on Thursday, 22 August, and winners will be announced on the Highway Mail Facebook page on Friday, 23 August.
