Comedians born in Groningen

Groningen is the capital of the northern province of the same name and the largest city in the north of the Netherlands, as well as a major university town, which gives it one of the youngest and most energetic populations in the country. The medieval Martinitoren dominates its skyline, and student life fuels a busy nightlife and cultural calendar.

That youthful energy makes it fertile ground for the Dutch cabaret and stand-up comedy scene, with regular performances from comedians such as Jeroen Pater, Jasper van der Veen and Arjen Lubach.
