Comedians born in Como

Como sits at the southern tip of its namesake lake, one of Italy's most beautiful, where the Alps rise steeply from the water in the Lombardy region near the Swiss border. Long famous for silk production, the elegant city blends a Roman street plan with lakeside villas and a fine Gothic cathedral. Its scenery draws visitors year-round. As Italy's live comedy and cabaret scene grows, Como's theatres and venues host touring stand-up shows.
