Comedians born in Bourg-en-Bresse

Bourg-en-Bresse, capital of the Ain department in eastern France, is famous for its prized Bresse poultry and for the Royal Monastery of Brou, a masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic architecture. A market town at the edge of the Rhône-Alpes, it blends rural tradition with regional administration. As French stand-up grows well beyond the big cities, touring comedians increasingly appear at its theatres and cultural venues.
