Sureni Weerasekera is one to watch!

Maggie Scudder Jan 27, 2023

Sureni Weerasekera is not just a coffee sommelier, she’s also hysterical. As a bi-coastal queen, she was raised in San Diego, but calls NYC home. Well, actually, since she was born in Sri Lanka, I guess that makes her at least tri-coastal. 

Sureni is known for her range–from lighthearted quips to sharp jabs that brighten society’s ills.  

If you’re in NYC, Sureni hosts a new monthly show at Union Hall with fellow comedian to watch, Asha Ward. Check out Earth Tones–it’s sure to be a great show every freakin’ month.
