Comedians born in Köln

Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany 🇩🇪

Köln, known in English as Cologne, is a great city on the Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia, founded by the Romans as Colonia. Its twin-spired Gothic cathedral is a national icon, and its riotous Carnival is among Europe's most famous, so much so that the city even gave its name to eau de Cologne.

Alongside its beloved carnival humour, Cologne hosts one of Germany's liveliest comedy and Kabarett scenes, with clubs staging both German and English stand-up, including performers such as Max Giermann and Vera Deckers.
