Comedians born in Wijchen

Wijchen is a town in the Dutch province of Gelderland, just west of Nijmegen, built around a moated castle that now houses a local museum. Surrounded by lakes and woodland, it combines history with suburban living, and its position near a lively university city keeps culture close at hand.

As the Netherlands' stand-up and cabaret circuit expands, regional theatres near towns like this welcome touring comic acts. Wijchen is the hometown of comedian Pieter Derks.
