Comedians born in Abbeville

On the Somme river in the Hauts-de-France region, Abbeville is a historic town in the Picardy country of northern France, not far from the Channel coast. Long a market and textile centre, it carries the heritage and the scars of a much-fought-over region. As French stand-up continues to spread beyond Paris, touring comedians increasingly bring shows to regional towns like this through theatres and cultural centres.
