Comedians born in Sélestat

Midway between Strasbourg and Colmar in the Bas-Rhin department, Selestat is an Alsatian town on the Ill river with a well-preserved medieval centre. It is renowned for its Humanist Library, a UNESCO-listed collection dating from the Renaissance, and is often cited in the early history of the Christmas tree tradition. Set in a region where cabaret and satire run deep, it also welcomes touring performers as French stand-up continues to grow.
