Sashi Perera: Pear Tree
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.
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 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 organisations around the globe, she moved to ³Ô¹ÏÍø 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.
Part of the ³Ô¹ÏÍø International Comedy Festival.
