Comedians born in Vénissieux

Venissieux forms part of the Lyon metropolitan area in the Rhone department, immediately southeast of the city centre. Long an industrial stronghold, it is linked to vehicle manufacturing and a large, diverse working population housed partly in the well-known Minguettes district. Firmly connected to Lyon, a major French cultural centre, it lies within reach of a thriving urban scene where theatres, clubs and a growing stand-up circuit host regular performances.
