Comedians born in Boulogne-Billancourt

Boulogne-Billancourt sits just west of Paris in the Hauts-de-Seine department of the Île-de-France region, and is counted among the capital's largest and most prosperous suburbs. Renault's car factories and well-known film studios once anchored the local economy; today the city has remade itself as a center for media, business and modern architecture along the Seine.

Its closeness to Paris, combined with its own cultural venues, gives residents easy reach of the capital's stand-up and café-théâtre scene. The comedians Frédéric Giacomo Testo and Marina Sylvie Foïs were both born in the city.
