Comedians born in Leeuwarden
Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ
Leeuwarden is the capital of the northern Dutch province of Friesland and the cultural centre of the Frisian-speaking Netherlands, with its own language and identity. The leaning Oldehove tower marks its skyline, and the city counts dancer Mata Hari and artist M.C. Escher among those born there. It served as a European Capital of Culture in 2018.
That cultural life supports the Dutch cabaret and stand-up tradition, with touring comedians appearing at local venues. Leeuwarden is the hometown of comedian Jan Jaap van der Wal.
