Comedians born in Kappeln

On the north bank of the Schlei, a long narrow Baltic inlet in Schleswig-Holstein, Kappeln is a picturesque harbour town with a long fishing tradition, including one of the last surviving herring weirs. Sailing, maritime charm and coastal light define it. As Germany's live comedy scene spreads beyond the cities, cultural venues in towns like Kappeln increasingly welcome touring stand-up alongside northern Germany's understated comic sensibility.
