Before Tom bails out on the modern world entirely to commit to nostalgia full-time, the burner phone using, Discman carrying, 1988-1995 obsessed freak is giving the present tense one last try. Not for him, but for his 2-year-old son who lives there. But how does 2026 compare to the one he grew up in? Tom explores the head f**k of popular culture in the modern world versus that of his youth in his trademark bittersweet style. 

As seen on Live at the Apollo, Roast Battle and Qi.

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. After working with refugee organisations around the globe, she moved to Melbourne to do her masters and fell arse backwards into comedy. She’s now one of Australia’s fastest rising comedians, known for her sharp wit, unique international tales and bizarre insights.

In 2023, she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Since then, she’s sold out shows in six countries, opened for Hannah Gadsby and made a slew of television appearances including Channel 10’s Have You Been Paying Attention and ABC’s Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee. Her memoir Standstill was published by Penguin Random House in August 2025.

Off the back of a total sell-out tour in 2024, Andrew Ryan is back with a brand-new show. Everyone’s favourite Cork in the North returns in good faith and in an honest capacity with what promises to be his biggest and most hilarious show to date. 

On the face of it Andrew is utterly delighted with himself these days; he’s happy, confident, can drive a golf ball 300 yards and is excited for the future as a newlywed. Barely touch that surface and the reality is he cannot get out of his own way and continues to make utterly bewildering decisions with hilarious consequences. Join him for his new show with tales of pet ownership, constant inability to read a room, and his unrelenting frustration and annoyance with the world around him. Everything is fine, until it’s not!

Host of the Q Radio Breakfast Show and Star of The Two Jonnies Late Night Lock In (RTE), The Blame Game (BBC), Comedy Central Live, along with hit appearances on some of the biggest comedy podcasts in the UK and Ireland. He is a frequent viral hit with over 50 million views amassed across social media.
