Sashi Perera
Sashi Perera takes the audience along in her stand-up show Pear Tree: a personal story about family, love, home, and the geopolitical history between Sri Lanka and Australia, interspersed with song and sharp observations.
Sashi's surname - Perera - means pear tree in Portuguese. You won't believe how mad Portugal gets if you mention why it's a super common name in Sri Lanka hehe.
Pear Tree is a stand up comedy show about pear shaped events between Sri Lanka and Australia. It's about family, love, homes, knives, kids and cats - spliced with a bit of geopolitics and singing. As with her last show Boundaries (now on YouTube) Sashi's signature observations remain dedicated to taking absolutely nothing too seriously.
Sashi is a Sri Lankan Australian comedian, writer and recovering lawyer. After working with refugee organizations around the globe, she moved to Melbourne to do her masters and fell arse backwards into comedy. She's now one of Australia's fastest rising comedians, known for her sharp wit, unique international tales and bizarre insights.
In 2023, she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Since then, she's sold out shows in six countries, opened for Hannah Gadsby and made a slew of television appearances including Channel 10's Have You Been Paying Attention and ABC's Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee. Her memoir Standstill was published by Penguin Random House in August 2025.
