Fia Perera

I'm a lady! A Classy actor, writer, funny lady!

About Me

I hail from the East coast, New York & New England. "Waspiness"..."Yes the sun is over the yard arm it's time for a brown drink." Despite being from such a driven and intellectual family, I have managed to become the most "inappropriate" person in my family. Hey I can't help it! I love animals, especially Doggies & Whales. I also love John, Triscuits, chocolate, Margaret Cho, Robin Williams, Kathy Griffin, Don Cheadle, Meryl Streep, Dame Judy Dench, Paul Watson, Anthony Hopkins, Rebecca Aldworth, New England days, great teeth, my three manly wonderfully funny brothers, sarcasm, cheese, JAWS, and baby Harp Seals. I hate the awful, white "Drunken," unconscious, homophobic men who kill them in Canada! I loathe people who wear real fur, especially J-lo and her need to wear the entire Arctic Refuge on her big fat, non-talented ass! Hey I'm a lady! I perform my stand up comedy in clubs, coffee houses, and theatres. I am looking forward to an amazing 2007!


My Interests

Comedy, I love characters! Hiking, exercising a lot so my butt won't keep growing. I love reading The New Yorker, great books, going to concerts, traveling when you have gotten a shoe horn large enough to get me out of my " routine" here in Los Angeles. I love accents, experiencing, different cultures and eating out at different restaurants. I am an animal activist and am working with HSUS to end the Canadian Harp Seal hunt when I'm not making people laugh.

I'd like to meet:

Cool, Conscious, funny people who care about the state of the world, who dislike George B. as much as I do and who don't argue against " Darwin" and who are not convinced that " Gay" people are taking over the world and who can let it all hang out and truly be themselves. I love self aware people who want to help the planet and who are passionate about conservation.

Music:

I love everything but Christian Rock, Barry Manilow and J-lo! I Love Funk, disco ( 70's) Donna Summer, Earth, Wind & Fire, Bring it on! Pat Benatar, Aerosmith, Little Feat, Bonnie Raitt! I DON'T KNOW LIKE I SAID I LOVE IT ALL FUNK, ROCK, HIP HOP( THE SNOOP), GWEN & NO DOUBT!

" While you Were Out"...But I draw the line on those stupid reality evil dating/ plastic surgery shows.

( Japan and Norway must be stopped! ) Last time I checked my sushi was fine without whale meat) and who also are working to stop The Canadian Seal Hunt! NRDC is amazing! Thank God for them otherwise we would have no hope to stop Global Warming! Eleanor Roosevelt is a hero as well as my dad and my mother who is an amazing woman and great world leader in science and lives to help others and the planet. Way to go mom.
