Comedians born in Bamberg

Bamberg, in Upper Franconia in the north of Bavaria, spreads across seven hills above the Regnitz river, and its remarkably intact medieval and baroque old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is famous for its imperial cathedral and for its distinctive smoked beer, or Rauchbier, poured in traditional taverns, and it ranks among Germany's best-loved historic cities.

Its lively cultural scene embraces both the German Kabarett tradition and a growing contemporary comedy circuit, and Bamberg is the hometown of comedian Markus Barth.
