Comedians born in Abidjan

Abidjan is Ivory Coast's largest city and its economic engine, wrapped around the Ebrie Lagoon on West Africa's Atlantic coast. The modern towers rising in its Plateau district have drawn comparisons to a major regional capital, and the city ranks among the liveliest hubs anywhere in the French speaking world.

Young, fast growing and culturally restless, Abidjan feeds a scene in music and film, and live comedy and stand-up are steadily carving out their own place in that same urban culture, with comedian Claudia Tagbo among the performers who trace their roots to the city.
