Comedians born in Fermo

Rising above the Adriatic coastal plain in the Marche region of central Italy, Fermo is a historic hilltown a few miles inland from the sea. Crowned by a cathedral and a fine piazza, it preserves Roman cisterns beneath its streets and long served as an important regional centre. As Italy's live comedy scene grows alongside its enduring comic theatre and cabaret traditions, provincial cities like Fermo welcome touring stand-up acts to their historic theatres.
