About the show

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.

Featuring

Sashi Perera

Sashi’s comedy is a commentary on the daily absurdities of language and life - from doors to crows to self-serve checkouts. She also draws on her former life as a refugee lawyer, which started in Perth and took her to Manila, Ankara, Dar es Salaam, Cairo and Bangkok over a decade. She came to Melbourne to do her Masters in Law and started doing comedy. She’s now found gigging all around the town and thoroughly enjoys doing too many things at the same time.
