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
Sashi’s debut solo show Endings was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023. You can check it out online to find out why. She’s the only Australian comedian featured as ‘One to Watch’ at the UK 2021 Funny Women Awards, a two-time RAW Comedy finalist and past cast of hit show The Breast of The Fest. The well-travelled improviser, writer and yarn spinner was born in Colombo and raised in Dubai, Muscat and Perth before working around the world as a refugee lawyer.
Her unique international tales, bizarre perspectives and sharp wit combined to go super viral on Instagram. Her socials are on 40 million views (and rising).
