Comedians born in Havana

Stretched along Cuba's northern coast, Havana is the island's capital and largest city, celebrated for the colourful colonial streets of Old Havana, the seafront Malecon and its vintage American cars. Music, history and Caribbean warmth define its atmosphere.

Cuba has a strong tradition of comic theatre and televised humour, and the capital's stages continue to give comedy a place within its rich cultural life, with performers such as Joey Diaz connected to the city.
