Comedians born in Saint-Maixent-l'École

Saint-Maixent-l'Ecole lies in the Deux-Sevres department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, on the Sevre Niortaise river between Niort and Poitiers. The town is closely associated with the French Army, hosting a well-known academy that trains non-commissioned officers, and it grew historically around an ancient abbey. Its cultural venues serve the surrounding area, and France's widening stand-up circuit increasingly brings touring comedy to towns of this size.
