Comedians born in Asmara

High on a plateau in the Horn of Africa, Asmara is the capital of Eritrea, celebrated for its remarkable Italian-era modernist architecture, which has earned the city UNESCO World Heritage status. Wide palm-lined avenues, cafes and Art Deco cinemas lend it an unusual early twentieth-century atmosphere. Live comedy is not a prominent international feature here, though the city's theatres and cinemas host local performance and cultural events.
