Comedians born in Troyes

Troyes, the historic capital of the Champagne region, lies on the Seine in the Aube department of Grand Est. Its old town, said to resemble a champagne cork in shape, is famous for winding streets of half-timbered houses and fine Gothic churches. Long a centre of the textile and hosiery trade, it is now equally known for its factory outlet stores. The city's theatres and cultural life host touring performers as French stand-up widens its reach.
