Comedians born in Tallinn

On the shores of the Baltic Sea, Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, prized for its well preserved medieval Old Town, a legacy of its Hanseatic trading past, and known too as a technology hub that helped give rise to companies such as Skype.

Estonia's comedy scene is young but growing, and the capital hosts stand-up in both Estonian and English through its bars, theatres and cultural venues. Sander Õigus, Stuart Goldsmith, Mattias Naan and Julia Masli were all born in the city.
