Comedians born in Sittard

Sittard lies in the southern Dutch province of Limburg, close to the German border, and forms part of the municipality of Sittard-Geleen. Its old town centres on a market square lined with historic facades, and the area carries the relaxed, Burgundian character typical of the Dutch south, with Limburg's carnival adding to its festive mood.

As Dutch stand-up and cabaret reach ever more regional stages, Sittard's cultural venues welcome touring performers throughout the year. The town is the hometown of comedian Toon Hermans.
