Comedians born in Bogotá

Perched high in the Andes, Bogota is the sprawling capital of Colombia and the country's political, financial and cultural centre. Its historic La Candelaria district, museums and large student population sit alongside a fast-growing modern metropolis.

Colombia's stand-up and live comedy scene has expanded rapidly in recent years, and the capital offers theatres, bars and venues where comedians such as Liss Pereira and Chimuelo regularly perform to enthusiastic crowds.
