Sashi Perera - Pear Tree

Sashi's family name - Perera - means pear tree in Portuguese. It's a common name in Sri Lanka where Sashi was born but never lived. Till a series of pear-shaped events saw her move back to where it all began with her white Australia husband in tow. 

'Pear Tree' is a stand-up comedy show about that. It traverses family, love, legacies, homes, knives, race, cats and kids - spliced with a little geopolitics and singing. As with her last show Boundaries (now on YouTube), Sashi's signature observational humour remains dedicated to taking absolutely nothing too seriously.

Sashi is a comedian, writer and recovering lawyer. Sri Lankan born and Australian raised, she’s now one of Australia’s fastest rising comedians, known for her sharp wit, unique international tales and bizarre insights.
