Sashi Perera, a lawyer turned comedian is taking the comedy world by storm. Host Maria Birch-Morunga chats with the hilarious Sri Lankan Australian comedian about everything from her viral "Browndaries" video, to the deeply personal experiences that fuel her comedy. Sashi shares how she balances her day job with her burgeoning comedy career, the challenges of going viral (and how to deal with trolls), and why she believes everyone has a funny bone. This conversation is as insightful as it is funny!
This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at The Channel, Arts Centre Melbourne in 2024.
