Comedians born in Eemnes

Eemnes is a small municipality in the Dutch province of Utrecht, lying between the Gooi region and the low meadows near the Eem river. Once a farming community, it keeps a village-like feel despite sitting close to the busy urban area around Amsterdam and Hilversum.

Larger comedy stages belong to neighbouring cities, but the Netherlands' dense cabaret and stand-up scene brings live comedy within reach of places like this. Eemnes is the hometown of comedian Erik van Muiswinkel.
