Comedians born in Hamilton

Set at the western tip of Lake Ontario, Hamilton is an Ontario city long defined by its steel industry, which earned it the nickname Steeltown. The Niagara Escarpment cuts through the city, giving rise to dozens of waterfalls that draw hikers, and in recent years its historic core has seen a wave of arts-led revival.

Positioned within the greater Toronto-Hamilton region, it hosts a growing roster of cultural venues where live comedy features, and Hamilton is the birthplace of actor and comedian Martin Short.
