📆 SAT 22 JUNE 2024 | 6PM
🎟 ON SALE @ 10AM AEST, THU 14 DEC 2023 via www.standup.com.au

Set boundaries. Find peace. It sounds so simple, but Sashi Perera calls bullsh*t.

What do you keep out and what do you let in? Sashi is diving into high crime, religion and the animal kingdom as she explores the absurdity of boundaries.

You may not have seen Sashi live, but chances are you've seen her viral clips online. Never afraid to test backgrounds or push cultural limits, her stand-up has notched up over 40 million views.

Her debut solo show ‘Endings’ earned Sashi a Best Newcomer nomination at the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and its run in Australia and the UK was sold out. The improviser, writer and yarn spinner was also featured as ‘One to Watch’ at the UK Funny Women Awards.

If you’re still figuring out what to let into your life this year, Sashi’s unique international tales, bizarre perspectives and sharp wit make her a must-see. Join Australia’s rising star of comedy in her quest for peace.

‘Elicits rapturous applause’ ★★★★ – The Age
‘Insightful and wickedly funny’ – Timeout Melbourne
'For those of us with a fascination for international absurdities Sashi is a spectacular comic' – Theatre Thoughts
‘Delightful, low-key charisma’ – Chortle

Kirsty Webeck: I'll Be The Judge of That
📆 SAT 20 JULY 2024 | 6PM
🎟 via www.standup.com.au

Kirsty would like you to see her new show. It’s got a lot of jokes in it because the genre demands them. She’s recently learned more about her relationship with farmers, she’s had a harrowing experience with classical music and a special thing happened to her at the airport. There’ll be heaps more things in the show, too. Including things that will just happen on the night and surprise everyone, including her. Go on, treat yourself and grab some tickets.

‘You would need a heart of concrete not to be won over by her sunny affability, which pours out of her at the same rate as her one-liners, both on and off the stage’ –The Age
‘Consistently enjoyable and impossible to dislike.’ – Sydney Morning Herald
