Comedians born in Venlo

Venlo straddles the Meuse river in the Dutch province of Limburg, right on the German border in the southeast of the Netherlands. Long a trading and horticultural hub, it has strong cross-border ties, a lively carnival tradition, and a historic centre that mixes Dutch and German influences.

As stand-up and cabaret spread across the Dutch regions, Venlo's theatres and cultural venues offer stages for touring comic performers. The city is the hometown of comedian Stefan Hendrikx.
