Comedians born in Wachtebeke

Wachtebeke is a municipality in East Flanders, near the Dutch border, and it is best known for a large provincial recreation and nature domain that draws visitors from across the region. Rural and green, it is a quieter neighbour to Ghent.

Lieven Scheire was born here. Communities this size rarely have comedy clubs of their own, but the growth of stand-up in Flanders brings touring Dutch-language acts to cultural centres nearby.
