Comedians born in Leoben
Styria, Austria 馃嚘馃嚬
Leoben is an old mining and industrial city on the Mur River in the Styrian Alps of central Austria. Iron and metallurgy shaped the city for generations, and it is now home to a respected university focused on mining and materials science that attracts students from around the world. A historic main square and newer cultural venues sit alongside this industrial history.
As in many university towns, a lively student social scene keeps local venues busy, and Austria's cabaret and comedy tradition finds a ready audience here. The comedians Lisa Eckhart and Thomas Stipsits were both born in Leoben.
