Comedians born in Herne

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany 🇩🇪

Set squarely in the heart of the Ruhr in North Rhine-Westphalia, Herne is a densely built former coal-mining city that hosts one of Germany's largest travelling funfairs, the Cranger Kirmes, near the banks of the Rhine-Herne Canal. Its industrial roots feed the region's characteristic dry humour. As Germany's comedy circuit grows, Herne's cultural venues increasingly welcome touring stand-up alongside the Ruhr's home-grown cabaret.
