SATHNADESAN

Comedian. Host. Emcee. Content creator. Professional bad influence for good brands.

Book Sath

I’m a comedian who somehow became a full-time YouTuber, a part-time emcee and a very occasional adult. I help brands, festivals and event teams get laughs on purpose, from a Sydney stage to a screen in Colombo.

I’m Sath: Sydney-based, Sri Lankan-built, original Yeah Mad cast. Twelve years of stand-up, hundreds of episodes, and a sold-out Sydney Comedy Festival run I will bring up at every opportunity, including this one. If you need a room hosted, a product made funny, or a set that lands, this is the digital office. Take a seat, there’s no receptionist.

Comedian & host you can put in front of your CEO


Half Tamil, half Sinhalese, fully Sydney. I have done the open-mic decade, the YouTube grind and the corporate circuit, and I still get nervous before every show, which my therapist says is healthy and my accountant says is billable.
