Comedians born in Almere

One of the newest cities in the Netherlands, Almere was built from the 1970s on land reclaimed from the sea in the province of Flevoland, and has grown rapidly into one of the country's larger municipalities. Known for bold modern architecture and its proximity to Amsterdam, it has a strikingly young population. Its size and growing cultural infrastructure draw touring performers from the Netherlands' lively cabaret and stand-up comedy scene to its theatres.
