Comedians born in Province of Milan

Rather than one town, the name Province of Milan refers to the old administrative belt that once ringed Lombardy's capital, a designation that has since been folded largely into the Metropolitan City of Milan. Scores of separate towns and suburbs sit within this crowded, industrious stretch of Europe, pulled into the orbit of a hub built on fashion houses, banks and media companies.

That hub also carries a strong cabaret and stand-up tradition, which is why the wider metropolitan belt counts among the sturdiest bases for Italian comedy, and comedian Stefano Gorno comes from this broader Milanese territory.
